For businesses, the new route will provide direct access to high-speed connectivity, which will be essential for supporting digital transformation and innovation. For consumers, the expansion will mean faster and more reliable internet access, which will open up new opportunities for education, entertainment, and economic participation.
The Impact on the Digital Economy
The expansion of Liquid Dataport’s fibre backbone is a significant investment in the digital economy of Angola and Zambia. The new route will help to bridge the digital divide and create new opportunities for businesses and consumers. It will also help to position the two countries as regional hubs for connectivity and innovation.
The Road Ahead
Liquid Dataport is committed to providing reliable and affordable connectivity to all Africans. The expansion of the fibre backbone to Angola and Zambia is a significant step towards achieving this goal.
