Ericsson has been selected by Angola Telecom to supply a fibre-optic submarine network to link six coastal provinces in
Angola. Ericsson is the sole supplier involved in the network and will provide the entire infrastructure, including the fibre-optic cable, transmission equipment and services in the contract worth US$70mn. The network, which is to be known as 'ADONES' (ANGOLA DOMESTIC NETWORK SYSTEM), will cover almost the entire length of
Angola's 1,600 km coastline from
Cabinda province in the North to Namibe in the South and will be used to deliver superior telecommunications and connectivity to the region. Expected to be completed by the end of 2008, the new submarine fibre-optic network will supply the coastal region with uninterrupted telecommunications and connectivity at an economical price.
