“Leveraging Adtran’s optical networking technology, we can scale
rapidly to connect some of Togo’s most underserved communities to
high-quality broadband. Our new network guarantees widespread,
affordable connectivity, ensuring no citizen gets left behind in
the race to digitalize the global economy,” said Samuel Owusu
Yeboah, West Africa CTO at CSquared. “It is crucial that Togo’s
citizens get access to superfast broadband. Working with Adtran and
our other industry partners, we’ve already positively impacted the
lives of many people across Africa. Now it’s Togo’s turn to
experience the transformative effect of fast, high-quality fiber
infrastructure. Together, we’re propelling Togo into the digital
age.”
The Adtran FSP 3000 open optical transport solution gives
CSquared’s network a total transport capacity of 400Gbit/s. Also
featuring Adtran’s intelligent, compact and power-efficient FSP 150
Ethernet access devices, the backbone and metro networks ensure
residential and business customers can expect reliable, symmetrical
services ranging from 1Gbit/s to 10Gbit/s. Enabling more automatic
and flexible optical networking, CSquared’s scalable infrastructure
caters to changing traffic demands quickly and efficiently. What’s
more, with the network connecting to Google’s Equiano subsea cable,
CSquared gains enough transport capacity to support a future of
even faster services.
“We’ve partnered with CSquared to light up an ultra-fast fiber
network across Togo. Harnessing our open, programmable and scalable
technology, CSquared can get to work closing the country’s digital
divide, enabling people to reap the economic and social benefits of
our globally interconnected digital economy,” commented Stuart
Broome, GM of EMEA sales at Adtran. “From where the Equiano subsea
cable lands, CSquared is using our technology to scale its network
in record time, connecting the people of Togo to each other, the
rest of Africa and the world beyond. Together with CSquared, we’re
helping to lay the foundation on which West Africa’s digital
economy will be built.”
