The Nigeria Cameroon Submarine Cable System (NCSCS) is a submarine cable that connects Nigeria and Cameroon. The cable system is approximately 1,100 kilometers long and was first installed in 2015.
It is designed to provide high-speed connectivity to both countries and improve their internet connectivity and communication capabilities. The cable has a capacity of 12.8 terabits per second, which is expected to meet the increasing demand for internet connectivity in both countries.
The NCSCS submarine cable system is owned and operated by a consortium of companies, including MTN Nigeria, Orange Cameroon, and Camtel. The project was jointly funded by the African Development Bank, the European Investment Bank, and other lenders.
The cable system has landing points in both Nigeria and Cameroon, specifically in the cities of Lagos and Kribi. The cable system connects to other undersea cables, including the South Atlantic 3 (SAT-3) cable, which provides connectivity to other African countries, as well as Europe and the Americas.
Overall, the Nigeria Cameroon Submarine Cable System has greatly improved internet connectivity and communication capabilities in both countries, and is expected to continue to do so in the coming years.
