Jordan\u2019s Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) today announced disruptions to undersea internet cables in the Red Sea.<\/p>\n
The TRC said that international bodies have confirmed these disruptions, which have resulted in slower speeds and increased response times in a number of countries in the region.<\/p>\n
The TRC confirmed that while no nationwide internet outage has been recorded in Jordan, users may experience some delays when accessing international content.<\/p>\n
The authority is working with licensed operators to improve routing paths, increase local exchange, and rely on terrestrial and other Mediterranean submarine cable alternatives to mitigate the impact.<\/p>\n
The TRC will continue to monitor quality indicators and provide updates to the public as needed.<\/p>\n
Complicated Repairs and Jordan\u2019s Connectivity<\/strong><\/p>\n The TRC stated that repairing submarine cables is a complex process that could take weeks, depending on the availability of ships and conditions in the Red Sea.<\/p>\n Jordan’s internet infrastructure benefits from a diversity of international routes, including submarine cables connected to Aqaba that link to Mediterranean infrastructure.<\/p>\n Jordan also relies on terrestrial routes through Saudi Arabia to the Gulf. New connections are being planned to further diversify routes between Europe and Asia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jordan\u2019s Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) today announced disruptions to undersea internet cables in the Red Sea.
