Medusa Submarine Cable System, NaiTel and Aqaba Digital Hub (ADH) have signed an agreement to create a new route between Jordan and Europe.
The agreement will connect Aqaba Digital Hub to Medusa through the Coral Bridge, giving customers in Aqaba a direct route to Europe through Medusa’s Mediterranean network.
It will also open up another route between Europe, North Africa, Jordan and the wider Middle East.
As part of the partnership, Medusa will establish colocation capacity at Aqaba Digital Hub, allowing ADH operators and customers to connect to its high-capacity submarine network and access international routes through Europe.
ADH Founder and CEO, Eyad Abu Khorma, said: “Our collaboration with Medusa further expands the international connectivity ecosystem we have built in Aqaba, strengthening the links between Europe, North Africa, Jordan and the wider Middle East.
“Medusa ’s growing footprint across the Mediterranean, combined with NaiTel and Aqaba Digital Hub’s terrestrial, subsea and data centre infrastructure in Jordan, creates a strong foundation for developing more diversified and resilient international connectivity.
“Jordan is uniquely positioned to serve as a bridge between the Mediterranean and the wider Middle East, and we look forward to working with Medusa to develop new connectivity opportunities across the region.”
Medusa Submarine Cable CEO, Norman Albi, said: “Partnering with NaiTel and Aqaba Digital Hub represents an important step in extending Medusa’s Mediterranean connectivity into Jordan and the wider Middle East. By combining Medusa’s high-capacity submarine network with NaiTel and ADH’s terrestrial, data centre and subsea infrastructure in Aqaba, we are creating new opportunities for carriers, cloud providers, digital platforms and enterprises to access more diverse and resilient international routes.
“We look forward to working closely with our partners in Jordan to strengthen connectivity between Europe, North Africa and the wider Middle East, while supportingthe region’s growing digital economy.”
