The Power of the 2Africa Cable System

With its advanced design and strategic routing, the 2Africa cable promises enhanced resilience, ultra-low latency, and unparalleled bandwidth.

For UrbanX, the 2Africa cable is a game-changer. It provides the robust infrastructure needed to support our high-speed, stable fibre connections, ensuring our users enjoy faster speeds and greater reliability. This innovative cable system allows us to move away from traditional terrestrial links, mitigating issues such as vandalism, fibre cuts, and power losses. The result is a more reliable and resilient network that can handle the growing demands of our tech-savvy users.
