Italian cable company Sparkle is set to extend its GreenMed cable into the Middle East.
The company this month announced it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with NaiTel, the telecom arm of Aqaba Digital Hub, and iLevant Ltd, to extend the GreenMed submarine cable system through the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

Jordan, through Aqaba Digital Hub, already serves as a landing point for the BlueMed/Blue & Raman submarine cable systems – though the latter is being delayed.
Under the agreement, the parties will work to integrate the GreenMed subsea with terrestrial fiber networks and regional interconnection platforms in Jordan.
