ACE Gabon, a key player in the ACE subsea cable consortium, has announced plans to land the Medusa subsea cable in Port-Gentil, Gabon. This initiative follows the signing of a construction and maintenance agreement with Medusa Africa, solidifying ACE Gabon’s role as an essential partner in this significant telecommunications project.
The Medusa submarine cable, powered by AFR-IX Telecom, is designed to enhance connectivity across a wide geographic area. Initially, the cable was planned with 17 landing points, including locations in Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, France, Greece, Italy, Libya, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, and Tunisia. The recent expansion adds a branch to West Africa, with funding secured from the European Commission to develop the Medusa Africa subsea cable.
In addition to its Gabonese landing, the Medusa project includes plans for a branching unit that will extend to the DRC.
