Shortly after activating the Hawk submarine cable system, Reliance Globalcom has begun providing bandwidth to Saudi Arabia-based operator, Mobily.
Prior to this, Mobily had signed an indefeasible right of use agreement spanning 15 years with the operator. The scope of this agreement included the purchase of multiple 10Gs of international bandwidth capacity, connecting Saudi Arabia to Europe and the United States.
The 4-fiber pair submarine Hawk cable system was built by Reliance Globalcom during the last fiscal year. It is aimed at establishing a Mediterranean Gateway and Hub at Cyprus. The Hawk system has been designed with two routes ? one express route connecting Marseille in France and Alexandria in Egypt and another local route, with a spur to Yeroskipos in Cyprus meant for establishing a low latency, high-speed diverse alternate route on the Europe – Middle East segment.
