Huawei Marine Networks successfully deliver Avassa submarine cable project

Via Huawei Corporate News

Nov 18, 2016

[Tianjin, China, November 18, 2016] Huawei Marine Networks Co. Ltd. (Huawei Marine), today announced that it successfully delivered the Avassa submarine cable system. This will be the 10th submarine cable project that Huawei Marine has been involved with in Africa.

Comoros Telecom and Mayotte based carrier STOI, signed the construction contract with Huawei Marine in January 2016 to provide connectivity between Grande Comore, Anjouan, and Mayotte in the Comoros islands. The Comoros Islands, located on the eastern coast of Africa, comprises the four islands of Grande Comore, Mohéli, Anjouan and Mayotte. The new 260km submarine cable infrastructure project will connect two locations on Grande Comore, to Anjouan to Mayotte.

Comoros Telecom owns 3 submarine cables connecting Comoros, Anjouan to Mayotte. The new Avassa cable will further secure the international gateway safety of Comoros and Mayotte.

Bayhaki Kambi, CTO of Comoros Telecom said,

“Historically, microwave technology has carried the majority of inter-island capacity, but due to its low speed and limited capacity this is no longer sufficient to support our growing economy. This new high-speed, large-capacity submarine system will complement our existing infrastructure investment, to drive local economic development and provide our businesses and residents with an improved end-user experience”.

In the meanwhile, as the second international submarine cable connecting Comoros and Mayotte, the Avassa submarine cable system will greatly increase international bandwidth for both sides.

Mike Constable, Chief Executive of Huawei Marine said,

“With the rapid development of the Comoros telecommunications market, data and voice communication will significantly increase, and thus requires a better transmission network to support the network operation. The Avassa submarine cable system will meet the next 10 to 15 years of business demands for Comoros Telecom and is upgradable to 100G and 400G, which will maximize our customers return on investment.”
