[Promoted] WIOCC restores major ISPs and IP Transit providers on Equiano cable
Due to a probable rock fall in the Congo Canyon, the WACS, SAT-3 and ACE subsea cables have been damaged, disrupting the services of many Southern African connectivity providers.
“As a strategic investor in the major subsea cables serving Africa, we always carry extra capacity for these scenarios,” said WIOCC Group Chief Business Development Officer Darren Bedford. WIOCC’s commitment to this IP backbone is emphasized by the fact that it has bought its own full fibre pairs on both the Equiano and 2Africa cables.
Because WIOCC is dedicated to delivering industry-leading redundancy and capacity on its IP backbone, it embraces capacity across both consortium-owned cables, and its own direct fibre pairs.
