According to Dialog, its total investments in international connectivity infrastructure have now surpassed US$100 million through collaborative efforts with a consortium of regional telco partners and global hyperscalers, led by Indian MNO Reliance Jio.
"The IAX cable system significantly enhances Sri Lanka’s global connectivity by providing high-speed, high-capacity bandwidth, catering to the growing demands of 5G, AI, and other data-intensive applications," says Dialog.
"Designed with cutting-edge technology, the IAX cable integrates seamlessly into Dialog’s existing subsea infrastructure, ensuring scalable and efficient data transmission between major global content hubs in Mumbai, Chennai, and Singapore."

Dialog hosted an official launch event at the Dialog IAX Submarine Cable Landing Station in Matara.
"By complementing the existing BBG (Bay of Bengal Gateway) and MSC (Maldives Sri Lanka Cable) systems, the IAX cable strengthens network reliability, mitigating risks associated with single points of failure," says Dialog.
Supun Weerasinghe, Director / Group Chief Executive of Dialog Axiata PLC said the IAX submarine cable was made possible through collaboration with valued global partners.
"This investment reinforces our commitment to empowering Sri Lankan lives and enterprises with world-class infrastructure, ensuring the nation stays ahead in an increasingly digital world," said Weerasinghe.
"By improving network reliability and expanding capacity, we are working towards a more resilient and inclusive digital ecosystem."
