This undersea cable would enable direct global connectivity and a complete end to end solution with guaranteed reliability. The core benefit of this project would be high speed, high bandwidth and International connectivity at an affordable price.  The FLAG network provides direct coverage and seamless connectivity between major telecom hubs, business markets and high growth economies across all continents.The Falcon segment of the FLAG cable links the Middle East, a part of Africa, India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives to the global FLAG network, which comprises of 66 Landing Stations in more than 50 countries, the highest number of PoP (Points of Presence)on a global submarine Fibre Optic cable network. The cable enables crystal clear international connectivity around the globe, linking key business markets in Asia, the Middle East, Europe and USA.<a href="http://www.dailymirror.lk/DM_BLOG/Sections/frmNewsDetailView.aspx?ARTID=17627" target="_blank">DM</a></blockquote>
