Egypt's strategic geographic position makes it a key hub for submarine cable connectivity, linking the Middle East, Africa and Europe. The country currently benefits from extensive submarine cable networks which are important for high-speed Internet and reliable data transfer. Several new submarine cables are expected to further enhance this connectivity boost to the data center market. These cables facilitate improved data flow further supporting Egypt’s ambitions to become a regional digital hub. Furthermore, the governments focus on digital transformation and infrastructure development along with the substantial investment in IT and telecommunications underscores the pivotal role of connectivity in driving the growth of Egypt’s data center market.

Deployment of 5G Networks

The deployment of 5G networks in Egypt is poised to significantly boost the demand for edge data centers. The edge data centers provide localized processing power which is important for 5G applications that require low latency and high-speed data processing. By bringing data processing closer to the end users, edge data centers reduce the distance that data must travel, thereby enhancing speed and reducing latency. This is particularly important for applications such autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, which demand real-time data processing and quick response times. In February 2024, Telecom Egypt partnered with Huawei to deploy 5G network infrastructure, aiming to enhance digital offerings and innovate solutions for customers. The collaboration seeks to revolutionize Egypt's digital landscape by providing high internet speeds, wider bandwidth, and seamless communication. This partnership will enable Telecom Egypt to introduce cutting-edge solutions across key sectors, leveraging Huawei's advanced network solutions to maximize the potential of 5G technology and drive digital innovation. The introduction of 5G networks will necessitate a robust infrastructure of edge data centers to handle the increased data flow and processing needs.
