en.Wedoany.com Reported - Telecom Namibia, Angola Telecom, and Satélite e Cabo TV (Satcab) have signed a Master Service Agreement (MSA) to integrate the Southern African Regional Submarine Cable System (Sarssy) with the Equiano submarine cable system, aiming to enhance regional digital connectivity and cooperation.

Based on a Memorandum of Understanding and Commercial Terms Agreement signed in April 2026 in Swakopmund, Namibia, this agreement marks the transition of this regional digital infrastructure project from strategic planning to implementation. The agreement falls within the bilateral cooperation framework between Namibia and Angola, aiming to advance regional integration, strengthen economic ties, and promote digital sovereignty and connectivity in Southern Africa.

The project will interconnect the Sarssy cable system with the Equiano system via Telecom Namibia's Swakopmund landing station, providing additional international communication capacity for Namibia, Angola, and other countries along the west coast of Southern Africa.

Under the agreement, Telecom Namibia will serve as the landing party for the Sarssy project in Namibia, hosting and supporting related infrastructure, including Angola Telecom's equipment, at its Swakopmund landing station. Telecom Namibia stated that as the landing party, it will provide an initial dedicated transmission capacity of 1.0 Tbps on the Equiano submarine cable system, ensuring high-capacity connectivity in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Angola Telecom will gain long-term, secure, and flexible capacity access, while Satcab will participate in the system delivery. This collaboration comes as Telecom Namibia strengthens its local and international connectivity infrastructure. The company recently partnered with Demshi Investment Holdings to accelerate fiber optic deployment to replace copper cables and is working to address service quality issues in some areas.
