Jio building largest international submarine cable system centred on India

Reliance Jio said on Monday it is constructing the largest international submarine cable system centred on India.

In conjunction with several key global partners and world-class submarine cable supplier SubCom, Jio is currently deploying two next-generation cables to support the extraordinary growth in data demand across the region.

The India-Asia-Xpress (IAX) system connects India eastbound to Singapore and beyond while the India-Europe-Xpress (IEX) system connects India westbound to the Middle East and Europe.

The systems will seamlessly interconnect as well as connect to the world’s top inter-exchange points and content hubs for extension of service globally. “IAX and IEX will enhance the ability for consumer and enterprise users to access content and cloud services in and out of India,” said Jio.
