Male, Maldives

Male, Maldives is a submarine cable landing point in Maldives (coordinates 4.1663°, 73.4999°). It serves 2 submarine cable systems, making it a multi-cable landing site in Maldives's international connectivity infrastructure.

Male is the sex of an organism that produces, or is organized to produce, the gamete known as sperm, which fuses with the larger female gamete, or ovum, in the process of fertilisation. A male organism cannot reproduce sexually without access to at least one ovum from a female, but some organisms can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Most male mammals, including male humans, have a Y chromosome, which codes for the production of larger amounts of testosterone to develop male reproductive organs. Wikipedia
