The incessant demand for data consumption and for video-centric content is growing at an exponential rate in India and Jio hopes to capitalise on it. AAE-1 will also link up with other cable systems and fiber networks which will enable the company to provide service to all global markets. 

Reliance Jio will provide the network operations and management for AAE-1 in India, using their state of the art facility in Navi Mumbai.
