Recently there was a disruption on the SEA-ME-WE 4 cable connecting SEACOM to London through the Mediterranean Sea.
Due to this we had various questions asking us exactly how undersea cables are laid. This short video explains the process SEACOM took while laying the undersea cable.
We’ve had many requests and queries asking us how the SEACOM fibre was layed and what does it entail.
The submarine fibre cable being used by SEACOM is not the huge pipe that people imagine it to be. It’s actually as thin as a strand of hair, picking up vast volumes of light emitted by multiple lasers through the colour spectrum. For more information about how fibre-optics work you can read it all in this article.
SEACOM landed almost a year ago in the various African countries, namely Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, South African and Madagascar. With more and more countries including Rwanda joining the SEACOM network, it’s important that we know what our customers think and feel about our services. We are constantly driving to improve the SEACOM experience.
With that in mind, it was decided that it was time to visit some of these countries again and speak to our clients, one on one to hear what they have to say.
