Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Namibia\u2019s national telecommunications service provider, Telecom Namibia co-landed the Equiano (Google) submarine cable in the coastal town of Swakopmund on Friday, according to a statement from the telco company.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s new submarine cable system will provide communications diversity due to its increased capacity, and this will have a direct impact on connectivity with faster internet speeds, more flexibility in the market, and an improved user experience.<\/p>\n

At the landing ceremony on Friday, Telecom Namibia CEO, Stanley Shanapinda said the Google Equiano Cable shore landing is a major step in the development of the national telecommunications infrastructure in preparation for the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cable will become a critical element in meeting Namibia\u2019s current and future international connectivity demands, as the cable incorporates new technology that enables approximately 20 times more network capacity than the current West Africa Cable System (WACS) cable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The cable will also connect Africa and Europe, enabling faster internet speeds and lower connectivity costs for both businesses and consumers across the region.<\/p>\n
