Current Status of Fiber Optic Communication in Guinea

Home / Current Status of Fiber Optic Communication in Guinea

Guinea has advanced its digital transformation agenda with the signing of a contract for the construction and maintenance of a second submarine fiber-optic cable, a strategic move designed to increase the country's connectivity capacity and strengthen digital infrastructure. Guinea has strengthened its regulatory framework through the adoption of a new data protection law and the establishment of key institutions like ANSSI and ANDE to secure digital transformation. The Republic of Guinea has emerged as a major digital hub in West Africa, hosting the Transform Africa. The Guinean government has completed work to increase the capacity of the national fiber optic backbone, which is increasing from 50 to 200 gigabytes.
