The invisible infrastructure of global connectivity

The ACE (Africa Coast to Europe) submarine cable is one of the most important cable systems for the digital connection of West Africa to Europe. With landing points in 24 countries along the West African coast, ACE opens up some of the continent’s fastest growing digital markets and provides the primary international cable connection for many of these countries. As a joint project of a broad consortium of European and African telecommunications companies, ACE represents the growing strategic importance of West Africa in the global digital network. Submarine cables such as ACE form the invisible foundation of global data traffic, with over 99% of international data flowing through them rather than through satellites or the cloud.

Route & connection

ACE connects France in the north with South Africa in the south and runs along the entire West African coast. Along the route, the cable ends up in countries such as Mauritania, Senegal, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Africa. With a total length of around 17,000 kilometers, ACE is one of the longest cable systems along the West African coast and opens up markets that are becoming increasingly important for international companies.
