Chinese state-owned telecom companies are planning a large undersea fiber-optic cable network called EMA (Europe-Middle East-Asia). The $500 million project, led by China's HMN Technologies, will connect Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. The FLAG Alcatel-Lucent Optical Network (FALCON) submarine cable system is a 11859km submarine cable system connecting India, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Yemen, Sudan and Egypt. The FALCON cable system has an initial design capacity of 2. The proposed EMA (Europe-Middle East-Asia) cable would connect Hong Kong to China's island. South East Asia–Middle East–Western Europe 5 is an optical fibre submarine communications cable system that provides telecommunication service between Singapore and France. The cable is more than 20,000 kilometres long and provides broadband communications with a capacity of 24 Terabits per second.
