Fiber optic cable in Tonga
Tonga Cable System is a submarine fiber-optic cable system connecting Tonga with Fiji, where it connects to other international networks. It is 827 kilometres (514 mi) long and was activated in 2013. It has cable landing points at Sopu, a suburb of Nukuʻalofa in Tonga, and Suva, Fiji. Not a metro area, not a data center cluster — a sovereign nation of roughly 105,000 people, spread across an archipelago of more than 150 islands in the South Pacific, whose international connectivity depends on a. Tonga Cable Limited (TCL) owns and manages the fibre-optic submarine cable, connecting Tonga to Fiji, which was commissioned in August 2013. The project was funded by Asian. In my previous analysis from August 2024, I explored the vulnerability of Tonga's fiber optic submarine cable infrastructure, proposing satellite broadband as a more resilient connectivity solution. Recent events have only reinforced that assessment.

Where will the Ghana fiber optic cable tunnel project be built
Danida Sustainable Infrastructure Finance (DSIF) has co-financed the establishment of a 1,000 km fibre cable in Ghana, stretching from the border with Burkina Faso to the capital of Accra, and which is further connected to a West African submarine cable outside Accra. Ghana's Cabinet has approved a transformative proposal from the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications to integrate fibre-optic ducts and access chambers into all new road construction projects across the country. Road and construction activities caused 60% of Ghana's fiber cuts, including 10,832 outages in 2023–24, costing 138 million cedis in 2024 alone. The policy, championed by the Ghana.

Chad Underground Optical Cable Project
On Saturday, May 13, the Chadian government launched work on the Chadian component of the Trans-Saharan fiber optic backbone (DTS). The realization of the project is entrusted to the CGPS/LORYNE Group made up of two Burkinabè companies specializing in. As a landlocked country, Chad is focusing on interconnections with coastal neighbors that have direct access to submarine cables. These connections are currently limited, as the country is only linked to Cameroon and Sudan. In Chad, the European Union (EU) and the African Development Bank (AfDB). The multinational component of the Trans-Sahara Optical Fibre Backbone (TSB) Project aims to achieve the interconnection between Niger, Algeria, Nigeria and Chad through the laying of 1 510 kilometres of optical fibre cables. On October 24, representatives from both organizations accompanied Boukar Michel, the Chadian Minister of Telecommunications and Digital Economy. Chad is moving to reduce its dependence on Cameroon for internet access by advancing a cross-border fiber optic link with Niger. From June 17 to 20, a delegation led by Chad's Minister of Telecommunications, Dr.
