Telecommunications firm Telkom Kenya says it is mapping a new fiber optic cable route that could enable its customers to enjoy higher speeds and eventually lower costs.
The cable dubbed Djibouti African Regional Express (DARE1) will run for approximately 4,000 kilometres and link Djibouti, Somalia and Kenya through a partnership with Djibouti telecommunications firm Djibouti Telecoms and Somalia’s Somtel. The telecommunications firm however declined to disclose the estimated cost of the new cable or source of funding.
