Sonangol Offshore Optical Cable, Angola
Name and Location
Sonangol Offshore Optical Cable (SOOC), Angola.
Client
Sonangol.
Project Description
The project involves the development of the SOOC, a critical infrastructure project that will significantly reduce the cost-per-bit associated with the delivery of data traffic to Angola, including its offshore oil and gas production facilities.
Spanning 1 900 km, the SOOC undersea network will connect to landing points at four locations along the Angolan coast and will allow for the country’s oil and gas industry to benefit from very large offshore data bandwidth with high availability and reliability and low latency.
The SOOC will allow for better operational efficiency and optimise operational costs and will also bring significant benefits to the Angolan economy, as a high-speed connection will be established between Luanda and Cabinda to fulfil national telecommunications needs.
