Our Network

Mauritius Telecom is setting the pace in the region in the transition from narrowband to broadband and IP (Internet Protocol) services. The company is migrating its legacy network towards an IP based one. This network is being rolled out for high performance data, voice and multimedia services leading the way towards Broadband Mauritius and the transformation of the country into a cyber island as envisioned by Government.

The Company offers global connectivity through the SAT3/WASC/SAFE undersea fibre optic cable and satellite systems. As provider of international bandwidth services, Mauritius Telecom is continuously upgrading the available bandwidth on the SAT3/WASC/SAFE cables in order to meet the increasing demand of Call Centre and BPO operators. Mauritius Telecom is also playing an active part in the process to connect Mauritius to the EASSy (Eastern Africa Submarine System) cable, which will link the countries of East Africa and Madagascar between themselves and to the rest of the world.

The Company is also investing in the LION (Lower Indian Ocean Network) cable which has been put in service in the second semester of 2009. LION will connect the island to Reunion and Madagascar and will provide Mauritius with a second cable landing point, after the SAFE landing station at Baie Jacotet, hence allowing additional redundancy and route diversity. This investment together with those on the EASSy and the EIG (Europe-India Gateway) submarine cable systems will further increase the reliability, resiliency and the bandwidth capacity of our international connectivity.

The company is actively contributing to the socio-economic development of the country by ensuring that basic communication and broadband services are available throughout the island.

Mauritius Telecom is also investing in technologies to meet the demand of users for flexible, cost-effective and convergent communication services.
