This marks the establishment of a comprehensive infrastructure in Sinai, creating new opportunities for global connectivity and enhancing network diversity.
The Sinai infrastructure includes four diverse terrestrial crossing routes that connect the three new cable landing stations in Sinai — at Taba and Sharm El Sheikh on the Red Sea, and a third station on the Mediterranean — along with a fourth station, Port Said 2, located on the west side of the Suez Canal. These routes seamlessly integrate with Egypt's existing 10 landing stations and 10 in-service crossing routes, creating a robust and resilient mesh of terrestrial networks serving the subsea community. This infrastructure also connects to the existing and planned subsea systems, with 7 new systems set to land in this newly established expanded network.
