This will widen the PEACE global network connection and increase its competitiveness and connectivity across the Kenya, East Africa and the African continent. This new cable system strengthens Mombasa’s role as the Gateway to Africa.

PEACE will provide high-capacity, low-latency routes connecting Asia, Europe and Africa with industry-leading high-speed access for connectivity providers.

The 15,000 km high-speed PEACE submarine cable adopts advanced technology of 16Tpbs per fiber pair with 200Gbps per single wavelength building a new routing path between the regions while providing greater resiliency and performance for interconnecting global workflows. In addition to Kenya, the cable will reach France, Malta, Cyprus, Egypt, Seychelles, Pakistan and other countries and regions.

“This cooperation with iColo is of great significance for PEACE’s layout in Kenya and Africa. We will not only provide modern interconnection, but also provide better Internet access and performance for more than 270M internet users in the region.”

Sun Xiaohua , COO, PEACE Cable

“The new PEACE cable meets the exponential need for exchange of high-speed data and video traffic between Kenya and the world enabling our customers to extract the best routes for their global workflows and efficiently execute their digital strategies. This game changing new cable system at MBA1 will be the catalyst for permanent changes in internet usage patterns in the region as we transition into the digitally connected world. This will deliver far-reaching connectivity benefits to meet the rapidly growing bandwidth demand of the African region.”
