Globalcom and GDS are thrilled to announce the expansion of their fiber optic networks to the Metn Central area, specifically in the towns of Elissar, Mazraat Yachoua, Cornet Chahwan, Ain Aar, Beit Al Kiko, Hbous, Mtaileb, and Dik El Mehdi. This expansion marks a significant milestone in our ongoing mission to provide the best internet services across Lebanon.

The 'FTTH Network' (Fiber To The Home) initiative, launched under the Cyberia and IDM brands, was officially unveiled during a ceremony held under the patronage and in the presence of H.E. Minister of Telecommunications Johnny Corm. The event featured prominent industry leaders including Ms. Rana Zakhour, Mr. Maroun Chammas, and Mr. Tony Fadel. This expansion marks a vital step forward in our mission to provide reliable and high-speed internet to more communities, ensuring that users across broader regions can experience the full benefits of cutting-edge connectivity.

The new network will cover approximately 1,200 residential and commercial buildings, providing fast and reliable service to over 6,000 users in the Metn Central area. It is worth noting that GDS has already completed the deployment of Fiber Optic networks in several Lebanese regions, including Hazmieh, Ashrafieh, and Hamra.
