IOX Cable System to improve connectivity in Mauritius
The new cable will connect Mauritius, La Reunion and Rodrigues Island to South Africa and India.
Arunachalam Kandasamy, CEO of IOX Cable says: "We are delighted to have Mauritius Telecom on board and it reinforces our commitment to Mauritius to provide enhanced and abundant capacity. With world-class open access data centres being built in Mauritius, coupled with the rapid deployment of cloud-based services, the IOX Cable System will be a driving force behind these key initiatives by providing better connectivity and putting an emphasis on high availability through diverse network design.
The cable system will be the first open access cable system in the region and it offers the opportunity for any licensed operators to benefit from the latest technology and seamless access throughout the life cycle of the cable system.
The IOX Cable System combined with IOX Cable's integrated service offerings will reportedly provide seamless interconnection to existing and future submarine cable system off the east coast of Africa and India, and also provide onward connectivity to the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and the Asia Pacific region.
