Reliance Communications Ltd , top-ranked CDMA-mobile services carrier, inaugurated an under sea cable on Tuesday aimed at providing cheaper bandwidth to retail and commercial users, reports Reuters.

The 2.56 terabit Falcon submarine cable system connects 11 countries on its entire length of 11,859 km from India's financial hub Mumbai to Egypt.

This new cable will be a part of Reliance Communications' Flag Telecom Global Network which already has cables running through 35 countries spanning four continents.

India, which has a population of more than one billion, has a sizeable expatriate community working in the Middle East. Asia's fourth-largest economy also enjoys close trading links with many countries in the region like Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

Demand for bandwidth is also growing within India where the export-oriented software services sector and the banking industry are large consumers. Reliance Communications competes mainly with Bharti Airtel Ltd and Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd in the bandwidth market.
