One of the most notoriously disadvantaged countries in the
world looks like it could be one of the newest regions in the world to benefit
from the implementation of Fiber Optics and it couldn’t be achieved without Fiber Optic Cables.
A Mauritian company is behind the new initiative in what
will allow the Horn of Africa to catch up with its neighbours. Understandably,
network connection in the area has been lacking and this is what led the
company to expand in the country.
Crossing the Kenya-Somalia border, the connection will link
up directly with Somalia’s already present telecom services and the transition
should be relatively straightforward. Two businesses will combine in what has
been coined, “a significant accomplishment for
both companies.” When you weigh up how
beneficial this will be for the area as well, the whole project could be a
resounding success.
With a reported $250 million going into the expansion across
the west of Africa and connections already being established in places such
Rwanda and Zimbabwe, it could be great news for the entire continent.
In what has been only been seen as a real feat of pioneering
over the past 10 years (although its origins trace back to the 1840’s),
continents all over the world are gaining high-speed connections by
interlinking the cables across grand stretches. You will find plenty of network
cables in the sea with it being the ideal place to keep such lucrative
property.
As for the fibre optic cables themselves, they can only be
of the highest quality. This is down to them needing to resist all sorts of
elements throughout the year. Whether it is radiation, general weathering or
abrasion, they need to be coated in the finest and most robust materials.
