Peru-based telecoms operator Global Fiber says it has selected Brazilian fibre-optic vendor Padtec and Peruvian telecoms firm Satelital as primary suppliers for a subsea ‘festoon’ network connecting two provincial capital cities in Brazil.
The US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) has agreed to fund a feasibility study for a plan to extend AFR-IX Telecom’s Medusa subsea cable along Africa’s western coastline.
A timely announcement from the ITU, the United Nations specialised agency for digital technology, is aimed at enhancing efforts to protect the world’s digital infrastructure and secure global connectivity. To be precise, it’s about submarine cables.
