Isocel Telecom plans fibre expansion to connect half a million homes

Burundi and Zambia are to be connected via an underwater fibre optic cable, following an agreement at the second Digital Government Africa Summit, which took place from 2-4 October 2024 in Zambia’s capital Lusaka.

Vietnam has this week announced that it aims to deploy two undersea internet cables by the end of next year. It has also said that 5G services will be deployed across the country by that time.

During MWC Shanghai 2025, the F5.5G All-Optical Industry Summit took place with the theme of “10 Gbps Broadband and All-Optical Premium Transmission for a Win-Win AI Era.”
