Huawei Marine is working with Ooredoo Maldives to deploy a Nation-wide Fiber Optic Submarine Cable to the Maldives.
The nationwide submarine cable, which will span 1,200k, will use Huawei Marine’s 100G technology. The cable will address the country’s increasing communication needs across developing islands and new resort locations.
“As the internet continues to bring remarkable value to individuals, families and businesses around the world, we firmly believe that it is the right of each and every individual to be connected to the abundant benefits of the internet,” said Vikram Sinha, CEO of Ooredoo. “With this is mind, we are proud to take this revolutionary step that will enable us to connect our communities to a fast and reliable broadband internet and support their digital lifestyles from wherever they are in the Maldives.”
Ooredoo’s Nationwide Submarine Cable is expected to be completed by the end of 2016.
