  • Africa submarine cable map, if someone is interested



cant we get a grab of that seacom line and tow it to Beirut and maybe hook it up to my network ? :) 1280 gb/s :)
Beirut has some 40Gbps capacity (theoritically). Half of it is used for telephony only (Ogero, Alfa, MTC, including roaming and SMSes).
Ogero is getting some less than 5Gbps IP capacity overall (part of it goes to Sodetel and the other ISPs).

Now the new submarine cable IMEWE (which the bastard Bassil missed to inform about till recently, check my first posts about IMEWE here) will
land at Tripoli and in the very best way, Lebanese will face the same problem as their african buddies:

thick capacity at the landing point with no suitable way to distribute through the country.

Some people never learn their lessons.

Jadberro, you think like a typical arab :) - hook it up to my network... You better hook it to the country, then everyone could get a share.
Your PC won't be able to take use of even 1% of this capacity. Don't be that selfish :)

SEACOM and EASSY are the last two cabling systems that were installed yet now in September. AWCC was installed like an year ago mainly
for South Africa and Nigeria (as you can see on the picture). Yet no more than 5% of this cable's capacity has been utilised...
well hope that the cable in tripoli will force the gov. to connect the different cities with fiber
Will be good in general for the country.

and when is that famous cable landing ? it was supposed to be last year.. then it was supposed to be this sept...
any idea about the schedule ?

November, heard this like several months ago. Haven't asked about updates since when not that the involved parties
are eager to provide any information :/
la b2a7lamak , la b2awhamak ;)
Some more info:

On 30th April, CS Fu Hai and CS Cable Innovator have successfully completed cable loading at OCC factorty in Japan before commencing IMEWE project.

Well, at least good news is that things are moving forward :)

Once the cable is laid down, by will or force/pressure MPT/Ogero will have to open it to the Lebanese.

Ayri bel Hariri! (believe me, I know why I am saying it).
