Strategic Context

This submarine cable connects various coastal areas within Saudi Arabia, contributing to the country's telecommunications infrastructure. center3, a subsidiary of Telefónica, operates across multiple markets in Latin America and Spain, providing services that include fixed-line, mobile, broadband, and data center solutions. The cable is part of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to enhance its domestic communication networks and support growing data demands within the region.

Duba and Haql, though less prominent, also play roles in local maritime and communication networks. These coastal areas are strategically important for both domestic and international communications, serving as key points for data transmission and regional connectivity.

Jeddah, a major city with significant economic importance, is one of the landing points for Saudi Vision. It serves as a hub for various telecommunications services and supports the broader infrastructure needs of the region.

Yanbu, another important coastal area, complements Jeddah by providing additional connectivity options and supporting local businesses and residents.
