{{DRC is expected to get connected to the Optical fiber The Managing Director of the Company Congolese General of Posts and Telecommunications (SCPT), Placide Mbatika said October 18.}}<\/p>\n
Mbatika said the work of installing transmission equipment will start next Monday at the Moanda landing station, where the DRC must be connected to the optical fiber.<\/p>\n
According to Mbatika, the connection to the optical fiber must be made two weeks after the beginning of this work.<\/p>\n
However,Mbatika said that the commercialization of the connection will begin three months later.<\/p>\n
DRC missed a first opportunity to connect to the fiber in May. Thirteen other African countries had done at the start of the project WACS (West African Cable system submarin). <\/p>\n
This project Telecom giant MTN aims to connect fourteen African countries to use fiber optic broadband internet.<\/p>\n
“The DRC has not been connected because we’re a little behind the construction of the landfall to be connected to the optical fiber. <\/p>\n
In two months, the work [construction of this station] will be finished, “said Mbatika who attended the launch of the WACS in South Africa.<\/p>\n
Arrested at the National Assembly in June, about this failure, the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications, Kin-Kiey Mulumba, said connecting the DRC to the optical fiber was blocked following the hijacking of the US$3 million for this operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
