Following a disruptive event on March 14, 2024, which impacted data and voice services due to undersea fiber optic cable cuts along the coasts of Cote d’Ivoire and Senegal, significant progress has been made in restoring connectivity.
As of today, services have been reinstated to approximately 90% of their peak utilization capacities, marking a crucial milestone in the resolution efforts.
In response to the disruption, affected operators swiftly mobilized resources, leveraging recovery capacity from unaffected submarine cables to restore functionality. This strategic approach has resulted in the recovery of approximately 90% of peak utilization capacities across the affected network.
Mobile Network Operators have assured regulatory authorities that data and voice services are operating optimally, thanks to the activation of alternative connectivities. These interim measures are ensuring uninterrupted service delivery while comprehensive repairs on the undersea cables are underway.
Acknowledging the inconvenience caused by the disruption, authorities extend their appreciation to telecom consumers for their patience and understanding during this challenging period. The swift action taken by operators and regulatory bodies underscores a commitment to maintaining robust communication infrastructure and ensuring seamless service delivery.
This development signifies a significant step forward in the restoration efforts, reaffirming the resilience of telecommunications networks in the face of unforeseen challenges.
