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, 

There are Atlantis-2, WACS (West Africa Cable System) and Ellalink and other domestic 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 is expected to be completed in Q1, 2021.
