The invisible infrastructure of global connectivity
The AAE-1 (Asia Africa Europe 1) submarine cable is one of the longest submarine cable systems in the world, connecting Asia, the Middle East and Europe on a single continuous route. With landing points in over a dozen countries along the route, AAE-1 is a central backbone of digital connectivity between three continents, tapping into some of the fastest growing digital markets in the world. Submarine cables like AAE-1 form the invisible foundation of global data traffic, with over 99% of international data flowing through them rather than through satellites or the cloud.
Route & connection
AAE-1 connects Hong Kong and Vietnam in the east with France and Greece in the west, passing through the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. Along the route, the cable lands in Malaysia, Singapore, India, Pakistan, Oman, Djibouti, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Greece and France. With a total length of around 25,000 kilometers, AAE-1 is one of the longest submarine cable systems in the world.
