Tunisia signals its digital independence with a new subsea cable linking North Africa to Interoute's pan-European network

摘要

Tunisie Telecom has signed a contract with Interoute to establish a subsea cable linking North Africa to Interoute's pan-European fiberoptic network. The cable, due to land in Sicily in October, gives Tunisia ownership over the flow of its Internet traffic and removes the reliance on consortium-owned subsea cables such as SEA-ME-WE-4. By connecting to Interoute's advanced fiber-optic network, Tunisie Telecom will have access to the independent operator's innovative services and competitive pricing model.
