Transforming Pakistan’s Connectivity: Transworld and the 2Africa Submarine Cable

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has announced exciting news about a major step in global internet connections. Pakistan is set to experience a major transformation in connectivity, thanks to Transworld Associates (TWA) and its role in the 2Africa Submarine Cable System. This monumental project will enhance the country’s digital infrastructure, bringing faster, more reliable internet services.

The 2Africa Submarine Cable: A Landmark Project

The 2Africa Submarine Cable System is one of the world’s largest undersea cable networks. It stretches 45,000 kilometers and connects 46 locations across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Using advanced SDM1 technology, the system offers a massive 180Tbps capacity for faster, stronger global connections.

A key development for Pakistan is the cable’s landing at Hawksbay, Karachi. Phase 1 began in December 2024, with the pre-lay shore-end installation already complete. Phase 2, the deep-sea cable installation, is scheduled for April 2025. The cable is expected to go live by the end of 2025.

Why This Matters for Pakistan

This project brings several important benefits for Pakistan, including:

Faster Internet Speeds: Enjoy seamless streaming, quicker downloads, and a smoother online experience.
Improved Connectivity: A more reliable infrastructure will reduce internet outages and improve stability.
Economic Growth: Stronger digital infrastructure will support e-commerce, tech startups, and global business opportunities.
Stronger Global Links: Connecting with the 2Africa network positions Pakistan as an important hub in global communications.

Transworld Associates: Leading the Way

As the 2Africa cable’s landing partner in Pakistan, Transworld Associates (TWA) is leading this transformative project. The company has long been at the forefront of improving the country’s internet infrastructure. Its involvement in this initiative highlights its commitment to advancing Pakistan’s digital future.

Backed by a global consortium that includes Meta and Vodafone, this project showcases Transworld’s expertise in managing large-scale digital projects. It also underlines the importance of public-private partnerships in shaping the nation’s tech future.

Looking Ahead

The launch of the 2Africa cable marks a milestone for Pakistan’s telecom sector. By 2025, internet services will be faster, more stable, and widely accessible. This will open new opportunities for individuals, businesses, and industries.

In the long run, as Transworld Associates leads this effort, it aligns with the broader vision of companies like JK Group. These organizations continue to support projects that encourage innovation and improve connectivity for a better, more connected future.

Stay tuned for updates as this groundbreaking project takes shape, bringing faster, reliable, and truly global connectivity to Pakistan.
