Angola Cables and TM Global, the wholesale arm of Telekom Malaysia Berhad, entered into a partnership to connect Asia to South America via a submarine optical fiber. The two companies are currently conducting tests on the possibilities of linking the “South Africa Far East cable system” (SAFE) connecting Malaysia to Angola, and the “South Atlantic Cable System” (SACS) that connects Angola to Brazil.

This new express route to ASIA reinforces Angola Cables position as a global provider with direct connections to 4 continents: Americas, Africa, Europe and Asia through the Monet, SACS/SAFE and WACS subsea cable connections. The idea of creating this digital bridge originated out of a desire of both partners to meet the growing needs of people in Asia and South America for a more efficient, low latency connectivity.
