Sparkle, Italy’s leading international service provider, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with NaiTel and iLevant Ltd. to extend the GreenMed submarine cable system into Jordan. As a result, the project will strengthen digital connectivity between Europe and Asia.
GreenMed Submarine Cable Jordan Expansion
Under the agreement, the partners will connect the GreenMed subsea cable with terrestrial fiber networks and regional interconnection platforms in Jordan. In doing so, they will improve network resilience across the Mediterranean.
Additionally, this integration will support a more diversified digital infrastructure. Therefore, it will enhance data routing options and reduce dependency on single pathways.
Jordan’s Strategic Role
Jordan continues to strengthen its position as a regional connectivity hub. Through the Aqaba Digital Hub, the country already serves as a landing point for the BlueMed and Blue & Raman cable systems.
As a result, Jordan plays a key role in the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC). The GreenMed extension will further reinforce this position.
EU Support and Industry Impact
The GreenMed project has received financial backing from the European Commission under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) program. This support highlights the project’s importance in advancing Europe-Asia digital connectivity.
Overall, the expansion into Jordan represents a critical step. It strengthens global data infrastructure while supporting future telecommunications growth across multiple regions.
