Somalia connects with first fibre optic link
According to an article published on IT NEWS AFRICA, the Liquid Telecom Group today announced that it has built the first fibre optic link into Somalia connecting the country to its neighbours, the rest of the world and the undersea cables by fibre for the first time.
The new fibre link connects across the Kenya Somalia border and then directly into the fibre network of Hormuud Telecom Somalia Inc. (HORTEL) for local termination.
Hortel’s fibre network will provide Liquid Telecom’s customers – fixed and mobile operators, wholesale carriers and enterprises – with reliable, robust and fast connectivity in southern and central Somalia.
