Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) \u2013 Iraq will be part of the WorldLink Transit Cable project, which will establish a new digital corridor connecting the Gulf region to Europe via Iraqi territory, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.<\/p>\n
The project is part of a larger worldwide development of undersea cable and data transmission initiatives.<\/p>\n
The project, which costs over $700 million, is privately funded by an Emirati-Iraqi partnership that includes Tech 964 Holding, DIL Technology, and Breeze Investments, according to the report.<\/p>\n
The cable is set to begin in the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi, go to Turkey via Iraq, and link to Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait.<\/p>\n
The initiative aims to serve multinational telecom corporations and applications that use artificial intelligence, providing an alternate path to congested corridors.<\/p>\n
The project is expected to reduce the risk of interruptions and improve the resilience of data transmission between Asia and Europe.<\/p>\n
The cable will have a design capacity of around 900 terabytes per second and will lower latency to less than 100 milliseconds.<\/p>\n
The project will provide support to cloud computing services, data centers, and advanced digital applications.<\/p>\n
The project will take five years to complete, with the expectation that the cable\u2019s passage through Iraq will strengthen the country\u2019s position as a regional data hub and attract additional investments in digital infrastructure and communications.<\/p>\n
The WorldLink Transit Cable project is part of a larger worldwide effort to diversify international cable routes and minimize reliance on conventional corridors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) \u2013 Iraq will be part of the WorldLink Transit Cable project, which will establish a new…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":128729,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[14],"tags":[2329,1405,488,270,43334,43335,6429,43336,41040,43337,54,94,35,271,50,43338,43339,43340,1176,43341],"class_list":["post-128728","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-iraq","tag-abu-dhabi","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-asia","tag-bahrain","tag-breeze-investments","tag-cloud-computing-services","tag-data-centers","tag-digital-applications","tag-digital-infrastructure","tag-dil-technology","tag-europe","tag-iraq","tag-kuwait","tag-qatar","tag-saudi-arabia","tag-tech-964-holding","tag-telecommunications","tag-the-uae","tag-turkey","tag-worldlink-transit-cable"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116629368383819778","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128728","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128728"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128728\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
