MTN Group 's digital infrastructure company, Bayobab, was one of the consortium partners recognised for its pioneering role at a celebratory event held in Cape Town last night to mark the completion of the world's longest subsea cable infrastructure project.
The milestone marked a significant advancement in global connectivity and underscored the role that MTN, through Bayobab, plays as a digital ecosystem enabler to give Africans hope, dignity and opportunity.
2Africa, a META-led digital infrastructure initiative, is the first subsea cable to provide a continuous link between East and West Africa while extending onward to the Middle East, South Asia and Europe. The system has taken nearly six years to build. It crosses 50 jurisdictions and required constant adjustment to shifting regulatory environments and technical conditions.
