Despite the interruption in the Red Sea cable, Kuwait continues to maintain its internet connectivity.
In a recent development, the Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) reported a cut to GCX's Falcon cable in the Red Sea on Saturday afternoon. The incident, which occurred in the Red Sea, was immediately addressed by the relevant teams.
According to reports by Al Qabas newspaper, the disruption affected three international circuits, disrupting international data communication. The exact cause of the cable cut remains unknown.
The restoration process, carried out in coordination with Kuwait Station management, was completed by Sunday evening. Traffic was rerouted to an alternate cable by 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, allowing services to be restored to all affected areas.
However, no details were given about the impact on individual users or businesses, nor about the capacity of the alternate cable used for rerouting. Similarly, no information was provided about the potential impact on international data communication outside of Kuwait.
The company operating the interrupted Falcon cable was not identified in the provided search results, and the country where the cable was re-capacitated remains undisclosed.
Despite the disruption, technical teams successfully managed to restore services, ensuring no impact within Kuwait. The combined capacity of the disrupted circuits is 30 gigabytes.
While the exact cause of the cable cut remains a mystery, it is a reminder of the crucial role these undersea cables play in our interconnected world. The incident underscores the importance of robust infrastructure and contingency plans to ensure uninterrupted data communication.
