Seem same route with i2i cable
==============================
In March 2001, SingTel and Bharti Group formed a 50:50 private submarine cable development company, Network i2i, to build the world's largest cable network in terms of bandwidth capacity (8.4 Tbps). The US$220 million i2i cable network (i2icn) is a 3,100 km long cable linking Singapore and Chennai. The entire i2i cable network utilises the latest Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology to provide transmission facilities, which can be upgraded, to ensure durability. i2icn will link to SingTel's extensive cable networks to the rest of the world. This includes the C2C cable network, SEA-ME-WE 3 and APCN2. The i2icn was completed in April 2002.
