Google brings super-fast fibre to Africa
Google has announced Project Link, an initiative to connect more people in Kampala, Uganda to the Web through a super-fast, high-capacity fibre network.
The project, Google said, will enable local mobile operators or Internet service providers (ISPs) to connect more people in Kampala to a faster, more reliable Internet.
Project Link is focused on enhancing speed and quality through a metro fibre network.
The network is available today to connect providers to long-distance fibre lines, equipping them with near-unlimited capacity to build and expand services to Ugandans and deliver speeds that can support the latest and greatest of the Web.
“With Project Link, we’re enabling local providers to access a first-class network to serve the city of Kampala,” said Kai Wulff, an Access Director at Google.
“With access to metro fibre, these providers can expand their services in order to meet the demands of a growing population of innovators and entrepreneurs, whether it’s fast connections for local hospitals or high-tech learning tools for young people in the classroom and beyond.”
