Reliance Jio 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 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
These high capacity and high-speed systems will provide more than 200 Tbps of capacity spanning over 16,000 km
Employing open system technology and the latest wavelength switched RoADM/branching units ensures rapid upgrade deployment and ultimate flexibility to add or drop waves across multiple locations
The IAX system connects India to Asia Pacific markets with express connectivity from Mumbai and Chennai to Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore
The IEX system extends India's connectivity to Italy, landing in Savona, and additional landings in the Middle East and North Africa
Apart from the seamless connection of IAX and IEX sub-sea systems, the two systems are also connected to Reliance Jio global fiber network beyond Asia Pacific and Europe, connecting to both the east and west coast of the United States
IAX is expected to be ready for service mid-2023 while IEX will be ready for service in early 2024
