Undersea fibre-optic cable (South Atlantic Cable System) [TendersInfo (India)](TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) State-owned telecom firm iAngola Cables is set to lay a $260 million-worth undersea fibre-optic cable linking Angola and Brazil in an effort to provide high-speed data connections between the two countries. The optic fibre cable will be 6,000 kilometres long and will link Luanda (Angola) to Fortaleza (Brazil). It is expected to be operational in 2015 and will have a data transmission capacity of 40 Tbps (terabits per second). The bank guarantee, from two Angolan banks, was granted to state-owned company iAngola Cables, and is intended to lay an undersea telecommunications cable between Angola and Brazil, called the South Atlantic Cable System. An optical fibre cable is a cable containing one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light. The optical fibre elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment where the cable will be deployed.
