Fiber-optic cables

Endeavor Optical Networks is emerging from stealth with a mission to build a space-based laser network for high-speed data transit. The startup seeks to provide hyperscalers and AI labs with an alternative to fragile undersea cables by offering terabit-scale throughput via satellite.

Iran's demands for fees on undersea cables in the Strait of Hormuz have severely disrupted global internet connectivity and halted major repair efforts. As a result, tech companies and Gulf nations are urgently pivoting to developing overland fiber routes to ensure continued data flow between the Gulf and Europe.
