West Africa Gets New 2tbps Cable PDF Print E-mail

The $240 million Main One Africa to Europe subsea cable launched ahead of schedule last week, adding tenfold to the capacity of West Africa.


At 1,920Gbps-worth of capacity, it has increased capacity in the West African region by more than ten times, according to cable operators Main One Cable Company.
The 7,000km cable linking West Africa with Europe has landing stations in Nigeria and Ghana plus branching units in Morocco, Canary Islands, Senegal and the Ivory Coast.
Chairman Fola Adeola says the cable is the first privately-held submarine cable in the region to be entirely African-owned.

 


Countries such as Nigeria have historically relied on just one cable route – the South Atlantic Terminal 3 - for their connectivity needs, Reuters said.
