Telecom Egypt (TE): Sohag East Data Center

Located in the Sohag Governorate of Upper Egypt, the Sohag East Data Center operated by Telecom Egypt serves as an important regional node in TE’s nationwide data-centre network. The facility supports Telecom Egypt’s strategic purpose of expanding digital-infrastructure capacity across Egypt, enhancing connectivity between Cairo, the Nile Valley and the Red Sea, and reinforcing the company’s role as a regional digital-hub operator. The site benefits from proximity to regional power infrastructure, fibre-optic trunk lines and a growing local enterprise market, helping Tele­com Egypt provide colocation, cloud-services, carrier-neutral interconnectivity and digital-ecosystem access for Southern Egypt and neighbouring regions.
