Huawei
Marine Networks has won a contract from the government of the Republic
of Equatorial Guinea to build the Ceiba-2 Submarine Cable System.
The
Ceiba-2 Submarine Cable System is expected to be ready for service in
the fourth quarter of 2015. Huawei did not reveal the size submarine
cable deal.
The
submarine cable project will be utilizing Huawei Marine’s Wavelength
Division Multiplex (WDM) and Optical Transport Network (OTN)
technologies. The 290 km system will feature a design capacity of 8 Tbps
and link the capital of Malabo to Bata.
The
submarine system will enable Equatorial Guinea to connect to larger
submarine cable systems including WACS, SAT-3, and Main One via Kribi,
providing access to European network. It will provide restoration or
redundancy routes for existing traffic on Ceiba-1, the direct link
between Malabo and Bata, and the Africa Coast to Europe (ACE) submarine
cable branch to Bata.
“It
is our privilege to support the government of Equatorial Guinea by
enhancing their international connectivity though the latest high-speed
submarine cable infrastructure,” said Mike Constable, chief executive
officer, Huawei Marine Networks.
