Wholesale Capacity
As GBI only operates at the transport facility level, the GBI network does not compete with operators or service providers for clients. The GBI network improves competition as it provides a means for operators to serve their clients more reliably and at a lower cost. GBI provides a full range of wholesale international capacity products designed to meet the current and future requirements of telecoms operators, ISPs, content providers, corporate customers and governments around the Gulf.
The choice of products planned for the GBI system will allow carriers to offer the full range of voice, data and internet services.
Our product range is based upon three distinct categories of industry standard international connectivity products:
Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) Product Line: These are the core international wholesale products used by telecoms operators to deliver international voice and data services.They are based on the industry standard Synchronous Transport Mode (STM) and cover a range of capacities: STM1 (155 Mbps); STM4 (622 Mbps); STM16 (2.4 Gbps); STM64 (9.9 Gbps). They will provide full ring-protected bandwidth services in the Gulf so if one part of the cable is damaged, service will continue using the other part of the ring.
Wavelength Product Line: These are a newer generation of services based on using the multiple wavelengths available on each fibre of the fibre optic cable. Unprotected wavelengths at 10Gbit/s level will be provided to fulfill the needs of ISPs and other users who need high-capacity, low-cost bandwidth within the region or between the Gulf and Europe or India.
Ethernet Product Line: This is a new generation of services which is rapidly growing across the global telecoms industry. GBI will provide industry standard 1Gbps and 10Gbps Ethernet interfaces.
