Zain Global to link Middle East to France through the Jeddah-to-Marseille undersea cable project – ArabianBusiness

Zain Global Connect (ZGC), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zain Global, is investing in the development of submarine cable project that will connect the Middle East with Europe through the J2M (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia to Marseille, France).

The project is ZGC’s first subsea cable ownership, in a portion of the Pakistan and East Africa Connecting Europe (PEACE) cable system.

The subsea cable will also provide Zain with full operational independence and a genuine critical factor capable to foster digital transformation initiatives in the region, particularly for cloud and IoT services.
