Saudi Arabian telco Etihad Etisalat (a.k.a. Mobily) announced on Tuesday it has successfully landed the Africa-1 subsea cable in Duba, which it says will position the country as a key international data exchange hub.
Peru’s Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) has announced its collaboration with BELLA II, a research and education-focused project that will link the country regionally and with Europe via a high-capacity fibre-optic network.
