The 2Africa undersea cable, said to be the largest in the world, has been landed into the carrier-neutral Durban facility of Open Access Data Centre , which is owned and operated by West Indian Ocean Cable Company .
“We are pleased to be working with our partners in the 2Africa project, bringing faster, more reliable internet to local businesses and consumers, and making an enduring contribution to communications in Africa. The subsea cable system is enabling more communities to access transformative online resources, from education and healthcare to jobs and financial services, and experience the economic and social benefits of seamless connectivity.
The arrival of the 45 000km, 180 Terabits per second 2Africa cable system will bring additional international capacity for Internet and other services, support high-speed internet delivery and provide greater diversity, which will benefit businesses and individuals throughout South Africa. Service uptime can be maximised by utilising this new OADC Durban-2Africa route for international traffic because, apart from the METISS system, no other international cable lands in Amanzimtoti.
