Orange: builds network in West Africa
(CercleFinance.com) - At the AfricaCom exhibition in Cape Town, Orange announces the construction of a new international network in West Africa, based on a network of terrestrial fiber optics and submarine cables, which benefits from a centralised operation.
"This multi-regional West African network will connect to the rest of the world through various submarine cables and will link up all the main capital cities in the region: Dakar, Bamako, Abidjan, Accra, Lagos..." the telecom operator said.
The commercial launch of this West African backbone is scheduled for the second quarter of 2020 and will reinforce Orange's leading position in the region. Orange is present in 19 countries in Africa and the Middle East and has nearly 125 million customers as of 30 September 2019.
