DARE consortium

Current members of the consortium are:

  • Djibouti Telecom
  • Africa Marine Express
  • TeleYemen
  • Telesom Company
  • Hormuud Telecom Somalia Inc.
  • Golis Telecom
  • Somtel Group

Topology

The ACE system uses wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology, which is currently the most advanced for submarine cables. With WDM, cable capacity can be increased without additional submarine work. With an overall potential capacity of 5.12 Tbit/s, the system will support the 40 Gbit/s technology from its launch.

Landing points

The cable landing points are planned to be in the following countries and territories:[2]
