Ooredoo has unveiled a $500 million investment plan to expand and modernize its global subsea cable infrastructure, reinforcing its position as one of the region’s leading international connectivity providers. The announcement highlights a major push to enhance capacity, resilience, and redundancy across its international network, ensuring faster and more secure data flows for enterprise and wholesale customers.
The investment will support new cable systems, upgrades to existing routes, and expansion of landing stations across key markets. With rising demand for cloud services, cross-border data exchange, and low-latency applications driven by AI and 5G, the initiative aims to future-proof Ooredoo’s global backbone.
Ooredoo’s expanded cable portfolio already includes involvement in multiple large-scale systems across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. The new funding will accelerate deployments, improve reach into emerging digital hubs, and strengthen Qatar’s position as a regional connectivity gateway.
The company said the investment aligns with national digitization goals and growing enterprise requirements for high-capacity, carrier-grade connectivity, supporting sectors such as financial services, oil and gas, cloud providers, and hyperscalers.
