Whilst the cause of the reported cable breaks off the Ivory Coast of West Africa has not yet been confirmed, Angola Cables (www.AngolaCables.co.ao) is ensuring that the impact on Angola and other African countries is being minimized by redirecting international data and traffic to the SACS cable, which connects Angola directly to Brazil and from there to the United States and Europe.
Angola Cables has network backup and restoration solutions available through cables that have not been affected by the faults off the Ivory Coast.
Our technical team is currently diligently working with industry partners to stabilise international connectivity and to ensure that we can provide support and guarantee the stability of services to African network operators and entities that need it.
