Gulf Bridge International
Gulf Bridge International (GBI) is the Middle East's first privately owned submarine cable system linking the countries bordering the Persian Gulf on a self-healing ring to each other and onward to Europe, Africa and Asia. Gulf Bridge International (GBI) both owns and operates this submarine cable asset as a carrier's carrier as well as offering a full suite of wholesale transmission, IP capacity options, and Enterprise Services. Its main headquarters are located at the Qatar Science & Technology Park in Doha, Qatar.
The Gulf Bridge International Smart Network is an international carrier-grade fibre-optic network that spans more than 40,000 kilometres (25,000 mi). It includes a mix of submarine cable systems and terrestrial infrastructure, with investments in 9 major subsea cable systems with 9 points-of-presence (PoPs) and 17 cable landings between London and Singapore. It offers scalable bandwidth options up to 100G with a design capacity of up to five terabits per second.
Incorporated in December 2008, GBI started production and deployment of the 'Gulf Ring' – a "high speed, subsea cable system" connecting the countries overlooking on Persian Gulf together and integrated into the larger GBI Cable System (GBICS) which has onward East and West links to Europe, Africa and Asia. The high capacity demand from the Middle East and lack of diversity/resilience (as witnessed by the cable outages of 2008) were large driving factors for the establishment of GBI.
In June 2019, Gulf Bridge International partnered with Nokia to deliver multi-national SDWAN in the Middle East with Nuage Networks.
In November 2019, GBI and Batelco strengthened their partnership to deliver accelerated connectivity between Bahrain and Europe.
In November 2019, GBI and Microsoft signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that supported cloud adoption in the Middle Eastern Region.
In January 2021, GBI participated in the launch of Qatar's first Internet Exchange Point.
In June 2021, GBI expanded its Versa Networks partnership by joining the Versa ACE Partner Program.
