Nexans Connects Brazil to Cameroon via SAIL Fiber Optic Project

摘要

Nexans has manufactured and tested 6,000 km of submarine fiber optic cables for the South Atlantic Inter Link (SAIL) project connecting Cameroon to Brazil, enabling a faster and more stable Internet connection between Africa and South America. Latency has been a cause of great frustration for IT businesses in Africa as their communications with America needed to take the long way round, being routed via Western Europe. Even a delay of only a few milliseconds can make the difference between profit and loss for businesses dealing with financial transactions. The aim of the SAIL project is to change this by developing new direct, low latency connection across the South Atlantic.
