By Press Release
WFN Strategies has recently announced the contract
award by Angola Telecom for the provision of supervision support of the ADONES submarine cable system.
ADONES consists of 1,500 kilometers of fiber-optic
submarine cable, providing a backbone network for mobile traffic as well as broadband services covering the majority of Angola's population. ADONES will
complement the current satellite backbone network and make reliable telecommunications services available to about 70 percent of Angolans, most of whom live in
cities, such as the capital Luanda, that are close to the sea. Ericsson has been previously awarded the system provision, consisting of the installation of a
tailor-made, steel-wire-armored fiber-optic cable along Angola's entire coastline.
WFN is currently supporting Angola Telecom with test plan review, factory
acceptance testing, review of survey reports and initial monitoring of marine installation activities of the system.
