Jordan Daily - NaiTel, the telecom arm of Aqaba Digital Hub, has signed a memorandum of understanding with Sparkle and iLevant Ltd to extend the GreenMed submarine cable system through Jordan, Aqaba Digital Hub said on Thursday.
The agreement aims to integrate the GreenMed subsea cable with terrestrial fiber networks and regional interconnection platforms in Jordan, strengthening connectivity resilience across the Mediterranean and supporting a new digital corridor linking Europe and Asia.
Jordan, through Aqaba Digital Hub, already hosts landing points for the BlueMed and Blue & Raman submarine cable systems, reinforcing the kingdom’s role on the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC).
“Jordan is uniquely positioned at the intersection of major global connectivity routes linking Europe and Asia,” Aqaba Digital Hub Founder and CEO Eyad Abu Khorma said. “The extension of GreenMed toward Jordan represents a natural next step in strengthening diversified and resilient digital infrastructure across the region.”
Sparkle CEO Enrico Maria Bagnasco said: “This agreement marks a further milestone in the development of GreenMed and confirms the strength of our long-standing collaboration with NaiTel and iLevant.”
GreenMed has received funding from the European Commission under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) programme.
