This cooperation positions PEACE as a major cable system to head south from the crucial high-speed Europe-Asia route, in a move that will deliver far-reaching connectivity benefits to the whole of the southern African region. The cooperation on extension of PEACE to southern Africa follows the overall success of the cable development project and the smooth implementation of operations, from survey activities and the issuing of the relevant country permits through to manufacturing and factory acceptance. An experienced development team has successfully steered the overall project, including the implementation of an innovative commercial component to bundle traditional and new capacity products and services on the same cable system.
