The second phase of the EMC System (EMC Global) that will join Saudi Arabia with Asia is being finalized and announced soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EMC project enables KSA, Greece, and Cyprus to leverage their geographic position.

The two cables \u2013 consisting of multiple Fiber Pairs &#8211; will have branches in Cyprus, Crete, and Athens. The EMC system is expected to operate in Q1 2026 (RFS date).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EMC consortium partners expressed their gratitude and appreciation to all stakeholders.
