TOGO TELECOM Awards Contract to Xtera Communications for High-Capacity Optical Network
- Express Highway Improves Long-Distance Domestic Network and Connects Landlocked Countries to International Submarine Cable Systems
“TOGO TELECOM's advanced nationwide optical network combined with the WACS infrastructure will offer landlocked countries in the sub-region and Togo access to the rest of the world,” said Sam P. Bikassam, General Manager of TOGO TELECOM. This will free landlocked countries from the exclusive use of microwave radio systems and satellite connectivity for international communications, enabling them to offer more reliable, higher capacity broadband services to their residential and business customers. “Xtera was instrumental in our migration to a higher capacity optical layer relying on Wavelength Division Multiplexing technology.”
“TOGO TELECOM‘s deployment of Xtera’s advanced optical transmission equipment is further evidence that innovative all-Raman optical amplification technology can offer wide bandwidth and long reach in multiple environments, with easier installation and operation than traditional WDM transmission equipment,” said Herve Fevrier, executive vice-president and chief operating officer of Xtera Communications.
Note: The WACS submarine cable spanning more than 14,000 km will run from Cape Town in South Africa to the United Kingdom with landings in Namibia, Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of Congo, Cameroon, Nigeria, Togo, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Cape Verde, the Canary Islands and Portugal.
