How is subsea infrastructure development adapting to data centre demand?

With the increase of data centre builds in the Middle East focusing on high performance computing, this has resulted in a divergence of data centre locations, increasing the need for connectivity between terrestrial and subsea networks.  This session will discuss how connectivity is developing in the region. 

  • How does the increase in number and size of data centres in the region impact demand for subsea capacity and, considering the normal 3-7-year cable deployment lead time, how will growing demand be met in the future?  

  • How important are carrier-neutral subsea landing stations to the health and effectiveness of the international wholesale capacity market?
