Telecom Egypt says it has established a new point of presence (PoP) in Jordanian Tier III carrier-neutral data centre Aqaba Digital Hub that it says will enhance connectivity across the Middle East for businesses and hyperscalers.

In a statement on Monday, Telecom Egypt said the ADH PoP in Jordan will serve as a vital interconnection hub, enabling seamless data exchange and facilitating the efficient flow of regional traffic as demand for high-bandwidth solutions escalates.

The news comes a month after Telecom Egypt and ADH’s telecoms arm NaiTel completed construction of the Coral Bridge express subsea cable connecting Egypt and Jordan across the Gulf of Aqaba.

The 15-km Coral Bridge cable sports 48 fibre pairs and is designed for transporting over 1 Petabit of data traffic, supporting the growing demand for data-intensive digital applications such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence.

Telecom Egypt MD and CEO Mohamed Nasr said the combination of Coral Bridge with the new ADH PoP positions both companies as pivotal players in addressing the region’s connectivity challenges, supporting everything from cloud services and AI-driven applications to international data transit.

“In an era where ultra-high bandwidth demands are soaring, we are proud to expand our global footprint and create diverse routes that ensure resilience and seamless connectivity,” he said in a statement. “Coral Bridge and the new node not only bridge Egypt and Jordan but also unlock new pathways for traffic aggregation, empowering collaboration and connectivity across continents.”

“By combining Egypt’s global subsea reach with Aqaba’s neutral landing station and Tier III data centre, we are building resilient routes and opening digital gateways that strengthen connectivity across Jordan, the Middle East, and beyond,” added ADH founder and CEO Eyad Abu Khorma.
