Angola Cables, Etix team up to provide direct US–Africa connection

Angolan telecommunications company Angola Cables and Luxembourg-headquartered data centre and cable landing station specialist Etix Everywhere have partnered to build infrastructure to reduce the latency between the US and Africa, thereby eliminating the data route through Europe. The parties plan to build two cable landing stations and a data centre linked directly to Africa by the South Atlantic Cable System (SACS) and Monet submarine cable networks.
