Angola Cables and Orange have reached an agreement to share infrastructure on the West African Djoliba Network. The agreement provides customers with direct access to Francophone markets in West Africa and gives both companies the opportunity to expand their respective global connectivity by sharing domestic networks as well as Angola Cables’ submarine cable network and backbone infrastructure.
Angola Cables and Orange offer seamless connectivity to Djoliba Network and other global destinations
Rui Faria, Global Commercial Director of Angola Cables, says: “Getting access to efficient and secure digital and cloud services is an essential requirement for any business in today’s gigabyte economy. Access to the West Africa Djoliba network and our robust submarine infrastructure broadens the capability of businesses in accessing international markets and offers expanded traffic destinations across West Africa and other parts of the world.”
Djoliba is the first network to offer complete security in West Africa. It has more than 10,000 km of terrestrial fibre network providing superfast broadband connections (up to 100 Gbit/s ) with 99.99% availability.
Expanding the infrastructure by combining Djoliba’s end-to-end terrestrial fibre network with Angola Cables’ already established global network WACS, SACS and MONET cables provides customers with a secure, low-latency connection – and additional redundancy options to multiple destinations in South America, the US and Europe.
Angola Cables is a major wholesaler and transporter of the continent’s data and internet traffic to other parts of the world. Faria says the company has been at the forefront of digital connectivity in the South Atlantic in recent years, boosting the economies of Africa and South America while providing uninterrupted, low-latency connectivity around the world through its robust global network and partner network.
