GO's part of this global net- work directly connects Malta to France, Egypt, and beyond, making GO the first operator in Malta to have additional redundancy on international connectivity to another coun- try other than Italy. Landing on the West Coast of the island, this cable also makes GO the first and only operator to have access to in- ternational connectivity from a shore other than that from where the rest of the other international submarine cable systems land. The total length of this un- derwater cable is of 12,000km, 3,785km of which covers just the Mediterranean part of the system. The 30-month project due to be completed and operation- al by February 2022 includes multiple landing points, such as Pakistan, Kenya, Egypt, Malta, Cyprus, Djibouti and France and extends to Saudi Arabia and Singapore. "GO has always been on the right side of history when it comes to investing in Malta's connectivity to the rest of the world. Our purpose is to drive a digital Malta where no one is left behind. Over the last five years we have invested over €100 million in digital infra- structure in Malta to bring our purpose to life. We plan to invest at least another €100 million over the next 5 years," said CEO Nikhil Patil (pic- tured). "GO is the only operator that had invested in two submarine cables that connect Malta to mainland Europe. It gives me great pride to announce an investment of €25 million for a third cable that will connect Malta to mainland France and directly to North Africa. This cable, called 'LaValette' will forever change Malta's interna- tional connectivity landscape." The execution of this pro- ject was entrusted to PCCW Global, an internationally acclaimed company, with a highly respectable reputation and a wealth of experience in projects of this magnitude. Addressing the launch event, Tamer El Gazzar, Sales Director Middle East and Africa at PCCW spoke in more detail about the many resources, time, planning and the complexities behind the project which he described as "nothing short of impressive" and spoke about how this will lead to long-term gains for the country. "Together with GO, we implemented a state-of-the- art technology deploying the highest capacity per fibre pair. The LaValette system follows the shortest and fastest direct route from Malta to France, and from Malta to Africa and East Mediterranean, thus giving Malta a whole new connectivity to Europe and the Middle East. The system will also give Malta open access to data centres in France, Egypt, Djibouti and Kenya." PCCW Global is the inter- national arm of Hong Kong Telecom with a global network covering more than 3,000 cities and more than 55 offices around the world. GO selected PCCW Global for this private cable system investment due to its exten- sive experience in the space of global networks and submarine cable projects.
