The 5.12Tbps subsea cable is set for launch.

The event, hosted in conjunction with Microsoft and K2, focused on business intelligence, content management and process management.

The Eassy network and two other cables could be fixed by 20 March, after a ship dragged its anchor for about 150km in the Red Sea.

Minor disruptions to Internet services have occurred at Port Sudan, as a result of a fault affecting the network near Djibouti.
