Kochi, one of the two gateways in the country having submarine cable landing facilities, handles more than two-thirds of the nations data communication traffic, supporting landing of two submarine cables viz SEA-ME-WE-3 and SAFE.

The 15 GBPS bandwidth support offered at Kochi makes bandwidth sourcing from Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram economically beneficial for subscribers as opposed to other gateways.
