Mauritius Telecom has continued its investments in submarine cable capacity in 2008, which is considered as the lifeblood ICT development for a country, in view of accelerating the building of Broadband Mauritius.
We are now members of the Eassy Cable system linking east coast of Africa to Djibouti, the Europe-India Gateway (EIG) cable system linking India to Europe and LION cable system.
The LION cable is an initiative of the Orange Group, committed to develop the lower islands of the Indian Ocean regions. The initial phase will link Madagascar, Reunion and Mauritius. The cable will ultimately be linked to Africa.
All these new investments will reinforce our vision of “Maurice Ile Durable” by providing Mauritius with multiple resilient gateways to the world to eliminate any isolation from a global economy.
