subsidiary of Cassava Technologies , has acquired a pair of fibre cables on Equiano, the new, Google-owned subsea cable connecting South Africa and Europe along Africa’s west coast. It said the cables give Liquid access to bandwidth of 12Tbit/s on the new Internet cable, which will be ready for commercial service by the end of the year.

The Equiano subsea cable has landing stations in Sesimbra , Lomé , Lagos , Swakopmund , St Helena island and Melkbosstrand .The Equiano cable system will be available in all Africa Data Centres’ facilities and give Liquid Dataport’s customers access to vast amounts of capacity at a reduced price, the company added.
