Sify will provide a landing station for Gulf Bridge International cable in Mumbai, Sify Technologies confirmed in a statement. The cable connectivity will also allow telecom operators and other communication companies to connect in the region. “Access to an undersea cable system will allow Sify Technologies to serve the emerging markets in the Middle East as well as African regions, which are also amongst the fastest growing economies in the world. This allows Sify to enable a reliable and secure information superhighway to connect the Middle East to Asia Pacific and the Americas,” said Sify Technologies CEO and managing director Raju Vegesna. The laying of the cable system is scheduled to begin in 2011 and will connect all the Gulf countries via a core ring. Sify Technologies in pact with Gulf Bridge
