In this episode of ITWeb TV, Padayachee joins ITWeb’s portals editor, Christopher Tredger, to discuss Seacom’s business, the challenges it has faced this year, and how it navigated them. He acknowledges the increase in capacity from multiple cable landings in Africa, but asserts that there is still a need to extend this capacity to remote and underserved regions.
“So multiple vendors terrestrially, and different vendors on the equipment side of things, and then we tend to build our network in a diverse fashion, using multiple routes. If you take South Africa as the example, we even go down into load-shedding schedules just to make sure we have sufficient power for capacity between the major nodes in the country,” says Padayachee.
