AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoSubsea Connectivity Upgrade: Orange is pushing ahead with ReuNION, a new submarine cable linking La Réunion directly to South Africa via a more direct route meant to cut latency, boost resilience, and diversify international connectivity as older systems near end-of-life. Consortium & Build Plan: The Réunion consortium includes Orange, Telco OI, Réunicable and La Réunion Connectée, with Alcatel Submarine Networks designing and manufacturing; Orange will act as the “landing party,” handling permits, shore civil works, a secure landing station, and the terrestrial interconnects, while Orange Marine manages deployment. Capacity & Funding: The system is planned with 16 fiber pairs at up to 20 Tbps per pair, and it’s backed by EU support through the Connecting Europe Facility plus European Regional Development Fund approvals. Industry Pulse: In a wider telecom/infra roundup, Ciena reported a 37% Q3 sales jump tied to AI-driven network investment, while major operator and data-centre deal news also circulated. Community Note: Harbor View Neighborhood Association’s next meeting is Sept. 8 at 6pm, in person with a Facebook stream (no voting by Facebook attendance).
