Angola Cables, a telecommunications multinational, has revealed that the South Atlantic Cable System (SACS) has made landfall at Fortaleza on the Brazilian coast. The undersea cable is one of the most advanced submarine telecommunications systems and will have an initial capacity of 40Tbps (100Gbps x 100 wavelength x 4 pairs of fibre). “Once SACS has been fully commissioned, we will see a significant improvement in communications and content sharing between Angola, African countries and the Americas. It is also reorienting worldwide internet traffic and is effectively positioning Angola as a telecommunications hub in sub-Saharan Africa,” concluded Nunes.
