SHARE

The Senegal Horn of Africa Regional Express (SHARE) Cable is a 720km submarine cable from the African continent to the offshore islands of Cape Verde, connecting Dakar in Senegal and Praia in Cape Verde.

The SHARE cable system has a design capacity of 16Tbit/s.

There are now ACE (Africa Coast to Europe), MainOne, SAT-3/WASC and Atlantis-2 landing in Dakar, Senagal, 

Besides the SHARE cable system, there are Atlantis-2, WACS (West Africa Cable System) Ellalink and Equiano submarine cables landing in Praia, Cape Verde.

Relying on Cape Verde's existing resources of international cables to Europe, South America and other regions, the delivery of the SHARE cable system will introduce new international bandwidth routes to the African continent, greatly improving the total international export bandwidth of Senegal and other regions of West Africa.

The SHARE cable system will promote the development of the ICT Hub position of Senegal in West Africa and accelerate the development of the digital economy and innovative economy in the region.

The SHARE cable system is supplied by Huawei Marine and completed in January 2022.
