Ntel set for full return of SAT-3 submarine cable

摘要

NATCOM Development & Investment Limited, trading as Ntel, announced the successful repair and return to service of its SAT-3 submarine cable. SAT-3/WASC/SAFE or South Atlantic 3/West Africa Submarine Cable is the longest submarine communications cable in the world with 17 landing points linking Portugal and Europe to South Africa, with connections to several West African countries along the route. It forms part of the SAT-3/WASC/SAFE cable system, where the SAFE cable links South Africa to Asia. The SAT-3/WASC/SAFE system provides a path between Europe and Asia for telecommunications traffic that is an alternative to the cable routes that pass through the Middle East. SAT-3 provides access to global markets and enables "seamless and diverse" connectivity to the rest of the world.
