IAX is expected to be ready for service at the end-2023, while IEX will be ready for service in mid-2024.

The multi-terabit and high-speed IAX system will connect Hulhumale in the Maldives directly with major internet hubs in India and Singapore.

The high-speed systems will provide more than 200Tb/s of capacity at speeds of 100Gb/s, over 16,000 km.
