Frequently asked questions about the EASSY cable
EASSY runs from Djibouti in the north to South Africa in the south along the entire East African coast. The cable lands in Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and Madagascar among others, and connects around 21 countries in total through terrestrial links. For many of these markets it is the primary international connection.
EASSY offers a capacity of up to 4.72 Tbit/s, which is raised continuously through technical upgrades. The system uses fiber optic technology with coherent transmission. This serves the growing bandwidth needs of the connected East African markets.
EASSY is operated by a broad consortium of African and international telecommunication companies, coordinated through WIOCC. This consortium structure makes capacity access complex, which is why direct partnerships and market knowledge across the members are decisive.
It depends on location, target markets and redundancy strategy. EASSY offers the broadest reach along the East African coast with many landing points, while SEACOM as a private system often allows more direct and flexible contracts. SAVECALL compares both vendor-neutrally and sources the cable or combination that fits best technically and commercially.
True resilience only comes from physically separate cable systems, not from two carriers on the same cable. In East Africa, EASSY, SEACOM, 2Africa and PEACE can be combined into diverse routes. SAVECALL analyzes where your existing connections physically overlap and plans an independent second route.
Companies get capacity on EASSY through direct contracts with the consortium members, not through reseller chains. SAVECALL negotiates IRU structures and leased capacity models directly, benchmarks transparently against all East Africa alternatives and plans redundancy at the same time. The starting point is a free consultation on locations, bandwidth and target markets.
