    Gateway Communications goes live on SEACOM

    NAIROBI, KENYA: Two years after committing to the SEACOM project, Gateway Communications is live on the submarine fibre optic cable connecting Africa to Europe, Asia and the rest of the world. SEACOM, privately funded and three-quarters African-owned, is expected to provide bandwidth on an open access basis, allowing all operators to have equal access to the cable.

    SEACOM has created an artificial price ceiling to ensure wholesalers charge end-users the most attractive market rates available for their bandwidth.

    Silvio do Carmo, managing director, Gateway Communications East Africa and Angola commented, “We are very proud of Gateway's success in offering the best technologies available to meet the needs of our customers. We have ensured our service offerings on SEACOM are built to meet the highest specifications to guarantee the quality our customers receive remains second to none. We continue to invest in the latest cable, satellite and terrestrial networks, blending technologies across the whole of the continent ensuring service quality and network speed at the most effective price points.”

    Gateway is present in 40 sub-Saharan African countries with end to end capacity on the cable, connecting its African customers to the high-speed European networks and the rest of the world.
