TELECOM EGYPT
Telecom Egypt has emerged as a key global digital infrastructure hub connecting Africa, Europe, and Asia, supported by more than 170 years of telecommunications history dating back to early telegraph subsea cables. Benefiting from Egypt’s strategic location between three continents and its extensive coastlines along the Red Sea (1,941 km) and Mediterranean Sea (995 km), the company plays a central role in international data connectivity.
Telecom Egypt operates a large and integrated international network combining subsea and terrestrial infrastructure. Its terrestrial network links 11 subsea cable landing points across the Red Sea and Mediterranean through an extensive mesh network with 12 diverse terrestrial crossing routes, including recent expansions in the Sinai Peninsula. This infrastructure carries over 90% of international internet traffic that transits between Europe and Asia and Europe and Africa, with a current transit capacity exceeding 330 Tbps. The company collaborates with more than 170 subsea cable partners across 21 active and planned cable systems.
In the last five years, Telecom Egypt has enabled 14 cable landings across seven major systems, including 2Africa (45,000 km), Red Sea Festoon, PEACE, Africa-1, IEX, SEA-ME-WE-6, and Coral Bridge. These projects significantly enhance broadband connectivity and support growing global data demand.
A major recent development is the Sinai International Infrastructure, which extends Egypt’s connectivity network into the Sinai Peninsula. This project introduces four new terrestrial crossing routes connecting subsea landing stations in Sharm El Sheikh, Taba, and Romana, along with the Port Said 2 landing station west of the Suez Canal. Integrated with the existing network, this expansion improves resilience, diversity, and capacity.
Additionally, the Coral Bridge system connects Egypt with Jordan and offers over 1 petabit per second (Pbps) design capacity, strengthening regional connectivity and enabling high-capacity, low-latency data transmission.
