SEA‑ME‑WE 6 — a high-capacity, 19,200-kilometre submarine fibre-optic system linking Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Western Europe — has landed in Pakistan, boosting the country’s global digital connectivity.
Under this deployment, Pakistan has been allocated 13.2 Tbps of capacity, with 4 Tbps immediately activated, enabling major support for cloud services, data centres, fintech, streaming and the broader digital economy.
The system offers over 100 Tbps of total design capacity, and improves resilience and latency by having more fibre-pairs, geo-diversified crossings and state-of-the-art infrastructure — marking a key moment in Pakistan’s internet infrastructure evolution.
