Actavo is building a state-of-the-art fibre optic network that delivers high speed broadband, TV, and fixed line services to customers on behalf of Cable Bahamas Limited (CBL) in the Bahamas. This project has strengthened CBL's position as a telecommunications leader in the country. While this infrastructure has served the island well, it also presented a vulnerability.

The government of South Sudan on Thursday commissioned a $38 million upgraded power distribution system financed by the African Development Bank to restore reliable electricity supply to Juba's central business district and boost suburban livelihoods. The proposed operation is a supplementary financing in the form of a loan of UA 10. The South Sudan–Uganda Power Interconnection Project (SUPIP) is a transformative regional energy infrastructure initiative to be implemented by the Governments of South Sudan and Uganda, with coordination by the Nile Equatorial Lakes Subsidiary Action Program Coordinaion Unit (NELSAP-CU). ESMAP is a partnership between the World Bank and 24 partners to help low- and middle-income countries reduce poverty and boost growth through sustainable energy solutions. In 2020, the World Bank, in response to South Sudan's transitional government's request, set up the Pathways to Electricity Access Expansion in South Sudan project.

VPItransmissionMaker™ Optical Systems accelerates the design of new photonic systems and subsystems for short-range, access, metro and long haul optical transmission systems and allows technology upgrade and component substitution strategies to be developed for existing fiber plants. The HYPERCORE project aims to investigate technologies for increasing transmission capacity, taking into account all three physical dimensions: time (channel data rates), frequency (channel wavelengths), and space (number of spatial channels), and optimizing them concerning energy efficiency. iber optic links to deliver the enormous capacity needed for the next generation of mobile phones (5G) has been proven in industry. Communication which utilizes light in the form of encoded signals to distribute data over telecommunication networks is known as optical fiber communication. By the by, it works on wide area networks (WAN) and constrained local area networks (LAN). Simulate, Validate, Innovate the World of Photonics! VPIphotonics™ sets the industry standard for end-to-end photonic design automation comprising design, analysis and optimization of components, systems and networks.

This list was initially developed as part of AfTerFibre, a project to map terrestrial fibre optic cable projects in Africa. The project was sponsored by and, on completion, will be hosted by the UbuntuNet Alliance. All information gathered by the project will be publicly available under an open license. The Congolese Minister of Telecoms, Augustin Maliba, signed the related memorandum of understanding (MoU) on April 7, 2025. 5 million people living in the eastern regions of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) will benefit from faster, cheaper and more reliable digital connectivity thanks to new fibre-optic network investment being rolled out by Bandwidth and Cloud Services Group (BCS) and backed by. OTTs and telcos, such as Facebook or Orange, supported by funders and African governments, have joined forces to accelerate the deployment of high-speed connectivity infrastructures.
