Background
The "JADI LINK" project is an integrated giant multi-pass fiber-optic network between Middle East, South Asia and the Far East (China). JADI cables will interconnect Jeddah, Amman, Damascus and Istanbul (Jeddah-Amman-Damascus-Istanbul). JADI LINK project will allow the mutual usage of the communication infrastructures of these countries over a single line. Thus, an important overland alternative will be presented in addition to the submarine cables crossing through the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. In some sense, this huge line will establish a Digital Silk Road in the region. Four telecoms (Türk Telekom, Saudi Telecom, Syrian Telecom and Jordan Telecom) will perform the necessary physical connections on the national main fibre optic backbones within their borders and will make 200 Gbps capacity expansion in their systems in order for the project can be implemented.
"In intercontinental internet, data and voice transmission JADI LINK is the second most significant connection corridor to be linked to the USA by submarine fiber optic cable systems starting from Singapore, Japan and India, following the Indian Ocean-Red Sea-Suez Canal-Mediterranean route and ending in Italy, France, Spain and the UK. The terrestrial fiber optic network enables..." Türk Telekom

"a combined, multi-pass connection will be established through terrestrial fibre optic cable by TT, STI, JTG, and STC that will be used in these countries. The terrestrial fibre optic network will provide a safe and strong alternative to the cable systems that are already passing through the area, where the three major fault lines exist in the Mediterranean sea-floor..."

Other Info
" Regional Cable Network': In 2010, MoICT facilitated cooperation with the private sector telecom operators to bring about two major terrestrial fiber cable projects. The Regional Cable Network (RCN) is a Regional high capacity redundant Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) terrestrial cable network project that will run for 7, 750 Km (round trip route). It will extend from the city of Fujairah (UAE) to Istanbul (Turkey) passing through Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), Amman (Jordan) and Tartous (Syria) before entering the Turkish territory.
From Istanbul this cable will be extended also to Europe, where 15 access points located along the Bulgarian and Greek borders with Turkey are already available. The communications cable will be the longest fully-redundant terrestrial communications infrastructure in the Middle East, and will be capable of covering the entire Gulf region.
The RCN cable will have a 12.8 Terabits per second data carrying capacity. The project will guarantee that every site along the cable path will always be accessible even if a network’s service is intermittent or interrupted.
The telecom operators who signed for the RCN are: Etisalat (UAE), Mobily (Saudi Arabia), Jordan Telecom/Orange (Jordan), Mada and Zain’s partnership (Jordan), the Syrian Telecommunications Establishment (STE, Syria) and Turkcell’s subsidiary, Superonline (Turkey).
The JADI link: This network will be connecting Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), Amman (Jordan), Damascus (Syria) and Istanbul (Turkey). The JADI project is the result of the collaboration between Turk Telecom (Turkey), Saudi Telecom Company (STC, Saudi Arabia), Jordan Telecom (Jordan) and the Syrian Telecommunications Establishment (Syria). The 2, 530 Km cable is aimed to be an alternative to the underwater cables passing through the Red and Mediterranean Seas. "
