  • Background Information Document
    Proposed ACE Cable System to be landed at Van Riebeekstrand on the West Coast of South Africa Page1 Background Information Document Appendix 1: Background Information Document 1. INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT MTN (Pty) Ltd proposes installing a submarine telecommunications cable, referred to as the Africa Coast to Europe (ACE) cable system, to link South Africa, the West Coast of Africa and Europe with key international telecommunication hubs in Europe (Figure 1). MTN SA aims to secure local landing permits to land the ACE Cable System as the designated Landing Partner of the Cable System in South Africa and has the required licenses to operate international telecommunication infrastructure in the country. 1.1 Purpose of the Proposed ACE Cable System Submarine telecommunication cables are important for international telecommunication networks; they transport almost 100% of transoceanic internet traffic throughout the world (www.iscpc.org). It is widely recognised that access to affordable international bandwidth is key to economic development in every country. Today, Africa relies primarily on satellites to provide its international communications. Communication via submarine telecommunication cables generally allows for lower cost, better performance, and greater capacity (throughput) than that available via satellite. Improvement in Africa’s information technology infrastructure via telecommunication cables will remove one of the current key perceived inhibitors to development in Africa and support economic growth and opportunities on the continent. Following installation of the proposed ACE cable system, MTN will be the first so called mobile operator to operate international fibre-optic bandwidth with full landing in South Africa along the west coast of Africa. In doing so, the company will facilitate more affordable and effective transport of voice, data, internet and television services.
