Medusa Submarine Cable System has partnered with NaiTel and Aqaba Digital Hub to establish a fresh connection linking Jordan with Europe. The arrangement will tie Aqaba Digital Hub into Medusa's infrastructure by way of the Coral Bridge, enabling Aqaba-based clients to reach Europe directly via Medusa's Mediterranean backbone. The deal simultaneously creates an additional pathway spanning Europe, North Africa, Jordan and the broader Middle East region.
Under the partnership terms, Medusa will deploy colocation facilities at Aqaba Digital Hub. This arrangement permits ADH operators and their clients to plug into Medusa's high-capacity submarine infrastructure and tap into worldwide connections through European gateways.
Eyad Abu Khorma, Founder and CEO of ADH, commented: "Our collaboration with Medusa further expands the international connectivity ecosystem we have built in Aqaba, strengthening the links between Europe, North Africa, Jordan and the wider Middle East. Medusa's growing footprint across the Mediterranean, combined with NaiTel and Aqaba Digital Hub's terrestrial, subsea and data centre infrastructure in Jordan, creates a strong foundation for developing more diversified and resilient international connectivity. Jordan is uniquely positioned to serve as a bridge between the Mediterranean and the wider Middle East, and we look forward to working with Medusa to develop new connectivity opportunities across the region."
Norman Albi, CEO of Medusa Submarine Cable, stated: "Partnering with NaiTel and Aqaba Digital Hub represents an important step in extending Medusa's Mediterranean connectivity into Jordan and the wider Middle East. By combining Medusa's high-capacity submarine network with NaiTel and ADH's terrestrial, data centre and subsea infrastructure in Aqaba, we are creating new opportunities for carriers, cloud providers, digital platforms and enterprises to access more diverse and resilient international routes. We look forward to working closely with our partners in Jordan to strengthen connectivity between Europe, North Africa and the wider Middle East, while supporting the region's growing digital economy."
Medusa's submarine network stretches across more than 8,700 km and maintains landing facilities throughout Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Malta, Greece, Cyprus, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Syria.
