Шаблон:Infobox submarine communications cable Europe India Gateway (EIG) is a submarine communications cable system that connects the U.K., Portugal, Gibraltar, Monaco, France, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, Oman, United Arab Emirates, and India.[1]

Organization and owners

The EIG is approximately 15,000 kilometres long.[1] It was initially designed to deliver up to 3.84 terabits per second[2] but was upgraded in 2015 and 2020. The cable system was built by both Alcatel-Lucent[2] and TE Subcom (formerly known as Tyco) and was scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2010.[2] The cable cost $700 million to build, going live in 2011.[3] The EIG was the first direct high-bandwidth optical fibre system from Britain to India.

The investors in EIG was a consortium of 18 telecoms companies,[4] including: AT&T; Bharti Airtel; BT Group; Cable & Wireless Worldwide; Djibouti Telecom; Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Co. (du); Gibtelecom; IAM; Libyan Post Telecommunications & Information Technology Company; Mauritius Telecom; Monaco Telecom; MTN Group; Omantel, PT Comunicações, S.A.; Saudi Telecom Company; Telecom Egypt; Telkom SA, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited and Verizon Business.

Cable landing points

EIG has cable landing points at:[5][6]

In February 2020, Ciena announced it had completed a major upgrade to the cable to boost capacity for international business traffic, adding 24.3Tbit/s of information carrying capacity, with a spectral efficiency increase of 52%. The EIG can now transport up to 400Gbit/s per wavelength, driving more capacity per channel at longer distances.[10]

Outages and incidents

In March 2013, the EIG cable was cut near Egypt.[11] A few days later the I-ME-WE and SEA-ME-WE 4 cable was also cut near Egypt, supposedly by divers.[12]

In February 2018, The Sunday Times reported that the infrastructure for the UK landing site of the Apollo, GLO-1 and Europe India Gateway cables had been found almost entirely unprotected. Their reporter was able to reach the premises without being challenged, and found the door to the generator room unlocked and left ajar. Vodafone, who manage the facility, said that he had not reached critical equipment and "would not have been able to interrupt the operation of the facility."[13]
