New Egypt-Jordan submarine cable to power AI and data centers demands

Artificial intelligence applications and data center demands are poised for a boost, thanks to a new submarine cable connecting Egypt and Jordan. 

In the first collaboration of this kind in 25 years, the Coral Bridge submarine cable will stretch across the Gulf of Aqaba to create a maritime communications bridge connecting the Jordanian city of Aqaba to the Egyptian city of Taba, establishing a robust infrastructure between the two countries, according to an official statement. 

The cable will be designed with high technical specifications to serve as a major project connecting the two countries with unique competitive advantages, thanks to the short distance between the landing points and its capacity to accommodate a large number of optical fibers for international traffic.
