Phase3 and Sonatel Launch Lagos-To-Dakar Terrestrial Fibre Route, Unlocking Resilience Across West Africa In a major leap for digital infrastructure across West Africa, Phase3 and Sonatel have activated a new terrestrial fibre route stretching 3,500km from Lagos, Nigeria, to Dakar, Senegal, delivering scalable, low-latency connectivity and unlocking critical cloud and content capacity across the region. This collaboration marks the next phase of Phase3's East-West fibre expansion, extending its Lagos-Accra corridor to reach Dakar, one of West Africa's key digital hubs. The result: a high-performance, land-based alternative to subsea systems, achieving latency as low as 32ms, and a much-needed layer of resilience for a region heavily impacted by the 2024 cable disruptions. By bridging networks through Benin, Togo, Ghana, and now through to Senegal, the new terrestrial path provides critical redundancy for Hyperscalers, content networks, financial institutions, governments, and cloud providers. It also expands the Djoliba network from Ghana into Nigeria, while laying groundwork for Ikasira, Sonatel's next-generation regional platform. The route is engineered for financial services, enterprise cloud workloads, public sector digitization, and media streaming, ensuring cross-border interoperability and local access to cloud zones like AWS Wavelength, hosted by Sonatel in Dakar. It also helps reduce exposure to future subsea outages, supporting national digital strategies across the region. The Phase 3-Sonatel route is a milestone in regional fibre collaboration, one that strengthens West Africa's digital core and connects it more securely to the world. Commercial availability and service packages are expected to be announced soon. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Aug 09
