Submarine Cable Networks-The Heart of the Internet
The internet’s largest and most important — and yet unsung — champions are the privately-owned submarine cables that orbit the Earth. Land links between cities and cables that run alongside roads and into houses and offices are certainly impressive — and without them we wouldn’t have an internet! — but sinking a cable into the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and even Arctic Oceans requires a billion-dollar logistical feat that requires years to enact. The Africa Coast to Europe Submarine ("ACE") cable began deployment in 2009 in its quest to build a submarine cable 17,000 Kms from Europe to Africa. Moya will connect the ACE capacity form South Africa and distribute its capacity throughout Southern Africa via its Backhaul Networks.
Africa's Rapidly Expanding Internet Requirements
The low Data penetration rate in Africa clearly indicates the pent-up demand for broadband internet connections. Africa’s requirements for affordable broadband connections has exploded over the last decade. Applications such as Facebook, Skype and Mobile Money have fueled the rapid increase in customer data demand in Africa.
Problem
The low Datapenetration rate in Southern Africa compared to levels elsewhere clearly indicates the pent-up demand for broadband connectivity. ACE’s entry into the SouthernAfrican market is vital to meet this demand. Africa’s Internet capacity requirements have exploded over the last decade. Applications such as Facebook, Skype and Mobile Money have fueled the rapid increase in customer data demand in Africa.Currently, there is little price transparency within the Southern African wholesale markets targeted by Moya primarily due to the lack of competition. Cables such as SAT-3 and WACs until recently have held unchallenged market positions, which has resulted in data pricesthat are between 10 to 20 times more expensive than those in markets outside of Africa. Market research carried out on behalf of Moya currently estimates the cost of a single STM-1 for international connectivity to Africa to be US$115,000 per month. The current market price for satellite access to Africa is between US$4,000 and US$8,000 per Mbps per month.
