5 hours ago Reliance Jio is constructing what it calls “the largest international submarine cable system centered on India,” the company announced on Monday. The telco major says it will work withe submarine cable supplier SubCom and other global partners to deploy two cable systems to support the growth in data demand across the region. The India-Asia-Xpress (IAX) system will connect India eastbound to Singapore and beyond, while the India-Europe-Xpress (IEX) system will connect India westbound to the Middle East and Europe, the company said. “For the first time in the history of fiber optic submarine telecommunications, these systems place India at the center of the international network map, recognizing India’s increased importance, staggering growth, and the quantum shift in data use since the launch of Jio services in 2016,” Jio said.
