Chennai: Sify Technologies, a leader in enterprise and consumer Internet services, has signed an agreement with Middle East-based submarine cable operator Gulf Bridge International to lay an international undersea cable to India by 2011. Sify will provide a landing station for the Gulf Bridge International cable in Mumbai, Sify Technologies said in a statement here. The cable connectivity will enable telecom operators and other communication companies to connect in the region, it said. "Access to the Undersea Cable System will allow Sify Technologies to serve emerging markets in the Middle East, as well as the African region, which are also amongst the fastest growing economies in the world," Sify Technologies CEO and Managing Director Raju Vegesna said. "This allows Sify to enable a reliable and secure information superhighway to connect the Middle East to the Asia-Pacific and Americas," he added.
