MainOne Extends Internet Cable to Akwa Ibom, Expanding Connectivity Beyond Lagos

In a groundbreaking move, Nigerian telecom giant MainOne has successfully connected an internet submarine cable to Akwa Ibom, marking the first such landing outside of Lagos.

This achievement, MainOne stated, signifies a significant step forward in boosting broadband connectivity and spurring economic growth in Nigeria’s South-South, South-East, and North-Central regions.

Spanning an impressive 45,000 kilometres, the cable will link Europe, Asia, and Africa, facilitating seamless connectivity across continents.

With a remarkable capacity of up to 180 terabytes per second, the submarine cable promises enhanced internet speeds and reliability. Despite the tempting thought of indulging in 8K gaming at blistering frame rates, its primary mission remains focused on driving economic prosperity in the designated regions.
