Meta, in partnership with leading global and regional telecommunications giants, has announced the completion and activation of the core 2Africa subsea cable system.
According to Meta, the Cable, stretching across three continents and 33 countries, is now the world’s longest open-access subsea cable, and the first to link East and West Africa in one continuous loop connecting Africa, the Middle East, South Asia and Europe.
The technology powering 2Africa promises major improvements for consumers, enterprises and public institutions, and lays the groundwork for next-generation cloud and AI-driven services.
With the core system now active, millions of Africans are expected to experience better internet speeds, improved network reliability and wider access to online services.
