Pakistan is set to experience a major upgrade in its internet infrastructure as Pakistan to get two new submarine cable systems soon, promising faster and more reliable connectivity nationwide. According to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), the addition of these systems will significantly increase the country’s bandwidth capacity and reduce internet disruptions.
Telecom industry insiders revealed that these two submarine cable systems will be connected through international consortiums led by major global telecom operators. The new networks aim to strengthen Pakistan’s internet backbone and ensure better connectivity with global data hubs in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
Experts believe that Pakistan to get two new submarine cable systems soon will help reduce internet latency and improve the overall quality of service for both businesses and consumers. With increasing digital demand in e-commerce, remote work, and online education, this initiative is being viewed as a crucial step toward digital transformation.
Currently, Pakistan relies on a limited number of undersea cables for global internet access. Any fault in one of these cables often causes nationwide slowdowns. The new additions will provide backup routes to ensure uninterrupted data flow even during maintenance or outages in existing systems.
Industry officials also said the deployment of Pakistan to get two new submarine cable systems soon will attract new investments in data centers and cloud computing services. This expansion will also support the government’s “Digital Pakistan” initiative by enhancing internet penetration and affordability across rural and urban areas.
The construction and installation of the new submarine cables are expected to be completed by 2026. Once operational, they will add several terabits of new capacity, enabling Pakistan to handle the rising digital traffic efficiently.
This move marks another significant milestone in Pakistan’s efforts to improve its global internet connectivity and digital infrastructure.
