Tehran – The Iranian and Omani telecommunications companies have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to expand data transmission between operators in both countries.
Mou was signed on behalf of Iran and Oman on behalf of Iran on the sidelines of the Iranian corridor 2025 event in Dubai on February 3, Mehr’s news agency reported .
It aims to strengthen data transit corridors on the northern and southern routes. It is considered an important step to transform Iran into a regional data transmission hub.
Therefore, the data transit capacity to Oman rises to 4.5 terabits per second from the northern boundary to the inner boundary of Europe and Iran, creating a secure and fast network from the northern part of Iran (Europe). Southern route (towards Oman and the Persian Gulf).
By optimizing existing infrastructure, this project saves time and cost of data transmission between Asia, the Middle East and Europe, and provides an efficient alternative to longer marine routes.
Cooperation with Omantel, one of the leading operators of the Persian Gulf region, will allow Iran to enhance access to international networks through the South Corridor, allowing for more stable connectivity with global data centres. Meanwhile, using Iran’s northern routes will enhance the security and diversity of data transfer routes to Europe.
The MOU also serves as an opportunity to strengthen Iran’s position in the global digital transit map, attract investment in the information technology sector and create jobs in the country’s communications infrastructure sector.
