Zajil Telecom, a subsidiary of Kalaam Telecom Group, has partnered with the Iraqi Informatics & Telecommunication Public Company (ITPC) to establish ‘Kalaam Iraq Transit.’ This is the first official 100% terrestrial alternative route for data traffic from the GCC to Europe via Iraq and Turkey. The agreement aims to create a safe and competitive terrestrial corridor to the existing international maritime route through the Suez Canal.
Kalaam offers a comprehensive suite of data and digital solutions, including the 100% terrestrial KNOT cable system and participation in the EIG consortium’s submarine network. The new ‘Kalaam Iraq Transit’ provides low latency, enhanced resiliency, and improved performance for customers. It addresses geopolitical risks and capacity constraints, providing a reliable and efficient path for connectivity.
This agreement is part of Kalaam’s strategic investment to expand its regional and global market presence. By leveraging its diverse route options, Kalaam empowers businesses, operators, and hyperscalers to choose the optimal path for seamless connectivity and optimized performance.
