The invisible infrastructure of global connectivity

The EIG (Europe India Gateway) submarine cable is a strategically important cable system that connects Europe directly with India and the Middle East. As a dedicated gateway between two of the world’s most important economic areas, EIG plays a central role in the digital connection between European markets and the Indian subcontinent. With India being one of the fastest growing digital economies in the world, EIG is continuously gaining strategic importance as a direct cable connection. Submarine cables such as EIG 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

EIG connects the United Kingdom (Bude) with India (Mumbai), passing through the Mediterranean, the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. Along the route, the cable lands in Portugal, Gibraltar, Italy, Egypt, Djibouti, Oman and Saudi Arabia. This large number of landing points makes EIG a particularly valuable cable system for companies that want to connect the Middle Eastern and Indian markets simultaneously via a single cable route. With a total length of around 15,000 kilometers, EIG connects some of the most important digital growth markets in the world.
