Mada Communications Jordan has completed the installation and operation works of the fibre optic cable to connect Jordan to Saudi Arabia, via the Al-Omari eastern border gate. The new cable serves as a parallel line to the existing fibre-optic line which passes through Aqaba on the Red Sea to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, to ensure a continuous online connection. The line is connected to the Saudi Telecom network and reaches the international marine (undersea) cables at a 10GB per second speed, which secures a communication line for both telephone and internet services in the kingdom and links it to other neighbouring Arab countries as well.
