Rwandatel's Fibre-Optic Cable to Reach Kigali By April

From: AllAfrica.com

Despite delays, Rwandatel's 900 Km fibre-optic cable is expected to land in Kigali by April this year. This was revealed by the company's Chief Technical Officer (CTO), Basilio Sadindi during an exclusive interview with the Business Times. The cable, which will be delivered by Green Future, had been slated to land in Kigali by January 2010. Sadindi said that Uganda Telecom (UTL)-a sister company of Rwandatel was tasked to lay the cable from Kampala to Masaka. However, the cable was not yet fully connected by the December deadline. "Ducting the Fibre from the Katuna to Kigali is government's work. If it reaches Kigali, we shall only require six weeks to lay our own channel," Sadindi explained. In September, Rwandatel and UTL contracted Green Future to deliver SEACOM's fibre connection. After a full connection to the under sea cable, Rwandatel's Internet subscriber base is projected to increase by 10 percent in the first 12 months.
