Wedoany.com Report-Sept. 24, Telecom Egypt, the integrated telecom operator in Egypt and a leading subsea cable operator in the region, has announced the establishment of a new Point of Presence (PoP) at the Aqaba Digital Hub (ADH) in Jordan. This step expands the company’s international network into ADH, which is recognized as the largest carrier-neutral Tier III data center in Jordan and one of the most significant in the region.

The new PoP is intended to act as a key interconnection hub, supporting seamless data exchange and efficient traffic flow across the Middle East. By collaborating with ADH, Telecom Egypt aims to deliver enhanced connectivity solutions for businesses and hyperscale operators, enabling them to access reliable, high-capacity infrastructure. This initiative underlines the company’s focus on supporting digital transformation and meeting rising demand for high-bandwidth services.

The announcement follows the recent launch of the Coral Bridge subsea cable, a 15-kilometer express petabit link between Egypt and Jordan developed in partnership with NaiTel, the telecom arm of ADH. Coral Bridge directly connects Telecom Egypt’s Taba landing point in Sinai with ADH’s open-access facility in Aqaba. Together, the new PoP and Coral Bridge provide a strong foundation for future growth, ensuring improved resilience and expanded routes for regional and international data transmission.

Telecom Egypt emphasized that these developments are aligned with its broader strategy to invest in international infrastructure. The company operates multiple subsea cable systems and landing points to serve the growing needs of global digital traffic. By building partnerships with industry leaders, it continues to expand its global footprint while delivering advanced services that support cloud computing, artificial intelligence applications, and international data exchange.

Mohamed Nasr, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Telecom Egypt, said: “This dual initiative, our PoP at Aqaba Digital Hub and the activation of Coral Bridge, represents a transformative step in strengthening the digital backbone of the Middle East. In an era where ultra-high bandwidth demands are soaring, we are proud to expand our global footprint and create diverse routes that ensure resilience and seamless connectivity. Coral Bridge and the new node not only bridge Egypt and Jordan but also unlock new pathways for traffic aggregation, empowering collaboration and connectivity across continents. Telecom Egypt remains dedicated to driving innovation and reliability in the telecom ecosystem.”

Eyad Abu Khorma, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Aqaba Digital Hub, added: “Telecom Egypt’s new PoP at Aqaba Digital Hub together with the Coral Bridge subsea cable, jointly developed between Telecom Egypt and ADH’s Telecom Arm, NaiTel, mark transformative steps for the region. By combining Egypt’s global subsea reach with Aqaba’s neutral landing station and Tier III data center, we are building resilient routes and opening digital gateways that strengthen connectivity across Jordan, the Middle East, and beyond.”

These initiatives highlight the growing importance of partnerships in shaping advanced telecom infrastructure and reinforce the role of Egypt and Jordan as central nodes in global digital connectivity.
