T
he South Atlantic Cable System
(SACS) is now on-stream and open
for commercial traffic. The new
digital information highway is the first and
fastest link between Africa and the Americas
with the lowest latency and will provide a
more direct routing for internet traffic in the
Southern Hemisphere.

The Angola Cables owned SACS has
been manufactured and powered by
NEC Corporation and is one of the most
advanced submarine telecommunications
systems to go into commercial operation
connecting Angola and Brazil. Data transfer
speeds will be greatly improved (five
times faster than existing cable routings),
reducing latency from Fortaleza (Brazil)
to Luanda (Angola) from 350ms to 63ms.
Luanda will also connect to London and
Miami with around 128 milliseconds
latency. These two major content hubs will
position Angola as a strategic point to serve
the transatlantic region with low latency
and resilient connections.
