UAE, Dubai, 02nd November 2016
Gulf Bridge International (GBI) is a leading submarine network operator whose network spans multiple self healing cable systems across three continents. GBI would like to confirm that the planned preventive maintenance work, expected to take place on Nov 2nd to 6th in the Arabian Sea, will not disrupt our delivery of Internet and other services to Kuwait or any other GCC country. All our partners and customers were notified beforehand about the planned work and were offered the option to utilise alternative capacity on the GBI network which would ensure no disruption and extra protection to their existing service.
Gulf Bridge International (GBI) would like to confirm that carrying out such maintenance work is normal practice in the submarine cable industry to ensure a robust and reliable service at all times.
