One of Pakistan’s oldest ISPs Cyber Internet Services (PVT) Limited (Cybernet Pakistan) has signed a Cable Landing Party Agreement with PEACE Cable International Network Co Ltd (PEACE Cable). As part of the agreement Cybernet will be PEACE Cable Landing Station Partner in Pakistan and will be deploying PEACE Pakistan Cable Landing Station (CLS) and managing its operation. Cybernet will build Pakistan’s first carrier-neutral cable landing station for PEACE cable by Q1, 2020 in Karachi.
Pakistan & East Africa Connecting Europe (PEACE) is 12,000 km long, privately owned cable system that provides an open, flexible and carrier-neutral service for its customers. The system design will adopt the latest 200G technology and WSS technology, which provides the capability to transmit over 16 Tb/s per fiber pair, servicing growing regional capacity needs. With 6 cables being added a total capacity of 96 Tb/s will be added to Pakistan’s internet infrastructure.
In the first phase, the PEACE cable system with landings in Pakistan, Djibouti, Egypt, Kenya and France will connect the three most populated continents in the world, providing critical interconnection to the economic corridors of Asia, Europe, and Africa.
Cybernet Pakistan CEO Danish Lakhani, while addressing a ceremony in this regard said that the submarine cable system would have an “outsized impact on the digital landscape in Pakistan. With its ultra-low latency design, the cable will cut down transit time between Pakistan and France to under 90 milliseconds dramatically improving the response time of internet-based applications and the experience of our users,”
