  • The UAE data center industry is also witnessing significant improvements in submarine and inland connectivity. For example, the FLAG Europe-Asia (FEA) is the biggest one spread across almost 17,400 miles, with Global Cloud Xchange as its owner, and has landing points in several regions in China, Egypt, Italy, Saudi Arabia, India, the UK, and other countries.
  • Significant deployment and adoption of 5G services, along with the development of smart cities across the UAE, has been fuelling data traffic and bolstering the growth of the UAE data center market.
