Full access to SAT3/SAFE

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 19 November 2007

Word is out that Neotel (SNO) ‘…has gained full access to the SAT3/SAFE undersea cable system’ (Neotel gains access to SAT3/SAFE, MyBroadband, 16 November 2007). This must come as good news for a large audience in and outside the telecoms industry.

In what can be described as a firm step forward, Neotel’s MD, Ajay Pandey said at the company’s Enterprise Product launch ‘…that Neotel has already gained access to the SAT3 undersea cable system and is connected to the landing station’ (Neotel gains access to SAT3/SAFE, MyBroadband, 16 November 2007). It seems that at least one of Neotel’s large clients will welcome a ‘Telkom free’ circuit.

In other words, Neotel is very close from offering ‘…their clients full international circuits without using Telkom’s network at all’ (Neotel gains access to SAT3/SAFE, MyBroadband, 16 November 2007).
