The $44 million China-Pakistan fiber optic that one cluster was operationalized recently will revolutionize digital communication.
The 820-km long fiber optic from Khunjerab China to Islamabad was operationalized on July 12. In the next phase it will connect with Karachi and then Gwadar.
After the launch of a number of mega projects under CPEC, the digital communication between Pakistan and China has increased manifolds.
Also a large number of Pakistani students are getting higher education in different universities in China. Recently these students were attending their classes online as their classes were suspended because of COVID-19. These students needed a fast and reliable internet facility to pursue their studies. As per plan the network will also be connected with Transit-Europe-Asia Terrestrial Cable network.
