TWA to provide 40-50MBps internet thru SEA-ME-WE-5 cable in Pakistan

Transworld Associates (Private) Limited (TWA) said that it would provide 40 to 50MBps internet through the South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe (SEA-ME-WE)-5 submarine cable network to consumer in Pakistan.

The company said that after the SEA-ME-WE-5 submarine cable connectivity, 40 to 50 MB internets service can be provided in Pakistan. It said that Pakistan’s internet bandwidth have increased from 7 24 terabit per second to 40 terabit per second.

Pakistan is connected with the cyber world through four undersea fibre optic cables. These include India-Middle East-Western Europe (I-ME-WE), SEA-ME-WE-3 and SEA-ME-WE-4, which are owned by Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) and TWA-1, which is owned by TWA.

The new fibre optic is the fifth undersea cable to connect Pakistan with the rest of the world.

TWA and PTCL act as the internet gateway to Pakistan and provide bandwidth to local internet service providers.

The new submarine cable will deliver ultra-broadband capacity and faster access to consumers and businesses.

The new cable will provide the country with an additional capacity in case of breakdown in any of the existing cables, something that happened in 2013.
