#JustIn: Equiano cable activated in Namibia
Paratus, the landing partner for the Equiano subsea cable in Namibia, has announced the activation of the cable today. The occasion marks a significant milestone in the delivery of enhanced connectivity to Namibia and the broader SADC region.
Equiano, with its landing points in Lisbon, Benin, Nigeria, St Helena, Namibia, and South Africa, is poised to revolutionise cable diversity and create new economic opportunities throughout the region, Paratus said in a statement.
The Equiano subsea cable provides approximately 20 times more capacity than existing cables connecting Europe to South Africa. This unparalleled capacity, which is enabled by open access via the landing station in Swakopmund, unlocks unprecedented potential for all operators, the group said.
According to an economic impact assessment conducted by Africa Practice and Genesis Analytics, the Equiano subsea cable is projected to increase internet penetration in Namibia by 7.5% by 2025.
