Namibia enhances connectivity with Equiano subsea cable

Namibia took another step in enhancing internet connectivity with the inauguration of its Equiano Cable Station and the activation of its segment of the Equiano subsea cable.

The Equiano cable, supported by Google, connects Namibia to Europe via Portugal and other parts of Africa through Cape Town and Johannesburg.

According to an economic impact assessment by Africa Practice and Genesis Analytics, the Equiano subsea cable is projected to increase internet penetration in Namibia by 7.5% by 2025, stimulating substantial economic growth, job creation, and sustainability.
