Expresso Reveals Plans for New Submarine Cable in Ghana

Expresso Ghana has recently revealed its plans to set up a new ACE submarine fiber optic cable in Ghana.

Following MTN and Glo Mobile, Expresso would be the third individual operator in Ghana to have landed a submarine fiber optic cable.

The 14,000km ACE cable originates from France and ends in South Africa, with numerous landing stations which include Nigeria, Sierra-Leone, Liberia and Spain.

It would add on the 7.2 terabits per second fiber capability to Ghana, and give the country even more redundant fiber.

Nations that are using the already existing SAT-3/WASC/SAFE submarine cable, like Ghana, would have ACE as an alternative route, which would give them a higher level of redundancy in the event the SAT-3/WASC/SAFE fails.
