| Cable type | Submarine communications cable |
|---|---|
| Fate | planned |
| Design capacity | 60 Tbit/s |
| Built by | TE SubCom[1] |
| Area served | East African coast |
DARE1 consortium
editCurrent members of the consortium are:
- Djibouti Telecom
- Somtel Group
Topology
editThe ACE system uses wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology, which is currently the most advanced for submarine cables. With WDM, cable capacity can be increased without additional submarine work. With an overall potential capacity of 5.12 Tbit/s, the system will support the 40 Gbit/s technology from its launch.
Landing points
editThe cable landing points are planned to be in the following countries and territories:[2]
