The India Asia Xpress (IAX), and the India Europe Xpress (IEX), both connecting India with additional internet links to the two continents is set to launch soon.
Both cable systems, cumulatively over 15,000 kilometres in length, are owned by Reliance Jio, with a strategic investment from China Mobile.
IAX connects Chennai and Mumbai with Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia in Asia, and IEX connects them with France, Greece, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Djibouti.
This adds to the dozens of cables landing in India, mainly in Mumbai and Chennai.
