first Fibre-to-the-Home
(FTTH) project
S
araya Aqaba, the luxury mixed-use
tourism and leisure destination
located on the shores of the Red
Sea in the Gulf of Aqaba in Jordan,
has become the first in the country
to roll out Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH)
connectivity by leveraging state-of-the-
art cabling solutions from R&M.
The undertaking will allow more than
800 residential units and commercial
establishments to enjoy high-speed
connectivity and the latest triple-play
services from telecom operators.
The top-flight hospitality and leisure
destination covers over 634,000
square metres, features residential
units, premium five-star hotels, several
entertainment outlets, state-of-the-art
business facilities and Souk Saraya, a
shopping and entertainment district
with a unique mix of restaurants, retail
outlets and nightlife spots.

The deployment of R&M’s cabling
solutions was expertly executed by
Optimiza, the cabling vendor’s systems
integrator partner in Jordan.
In recent years, FTTH has become a key
aspect of city development projects as
the in-home lifestyle of consumers in
the region is being transformed into an
online-dominated experience.
Raed Al-Omari, Director of Mega
Projects, said: “Saraya Aqaba is
designed to provide the very latest
facilities and amenities to residents
and guests. The fibre infrastructure
we have deployed provides the robust
platform upon which a host of critical
modern services will be offered. We
have invested in the best technologies
from R&M, a market-leading vendor,
which will ensure that this network is
capable of meeting the needs of users
for years to come.”
