April 26.2010 - Parmand Telecom - Gulf Bridge International (GBI), the newly established submarine cable operator in the region, and Telecommunication Infrastructure Company of I R Iran (TIC) have agreed to land GBI's submarine telecom cable in Iran and signed the Landing Party Agreement. The GBI International Cable Network is planned to connect Iran with the Gulf region and the rest of the world, via a reliable, high capacity submarine fibre optic cable linking the region to India and the Far East via the East Route and to Europe via the West Route. In addition, this agreement will facilitate onward connectivity to many central Asian countries including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Armenia. Designed to operate for 25 years and enter service during 2011, the GBI cable will exploit the commercial opportunity provided by the increasing demand for reliable high-speed telecommunications capacity in the Gulf region. "Landing our cable in Iran is part of GBI's plan and full commitment toward connecting the Gulf to the whole world with a reliable cable infrastructure," said Hamad Almannai, GBI's Executive Vice Chairman. http://www.zawya.com/Story.cfm/sidZAWYA20100425035118/GBI%20in%20submarine%20cable%20deal%20with%20Iranian%20operator
