Oman Emirates Gateway to serve as Express Connection

Currently, Oman and UAE are connected through terrestrial and submarine routes. The new subsea system, OEG, will serve as an express connection between both countries, supporting the region to evolve into a global communication hub and positioning Omantel and Du as leading wholesale players.

Fibre Optic Cable Connecting two International Data Centers

The Oman Emirates Gateway (OEG) subsea cable system is the first of its project, which connects two international Data Centers - Equinix MC1 in Barka, Oman and datamena DX1 in Dubai, UAE.

According to the statement, "this express link will act as a major facilitator for hyper scalers, content providers and international carriers that are currently hosted in these datacentres to avail improved connectivity services and higher capacities and will be able to directly link their Point of Presence (POPs) in the region. Increased connectivity between the two data centres will also attract more global players to the region and improve the quality of connectivity, which will, in turn, boost customer experience."
