The SHARE Cable is owned by Agence De L’informatique del’Etat.
The cable is scheduled to be ready for service (RFS) in 2023. The exact status of the deployment or construction, whether it has been completed or is still ongoing, remains unknown.
The SHARE Cable connects Senegal and Cape Verde, providing a direct fiber-optic path between these two West African nations. This connection supports regional communication needs, enhancing data exchange and potentially reducing latency for services such as internet access, business communications, and government operations.
Senegal is a key player in the region, serving as a hub for telecommunications infrastructure and economic integration efforts within ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States). The country has been actively working to improve its digital connectivity, aiming to support economic growth and modernization initiatives. Similarly, Cape Verde plays an important role as a transit point and landing site for submarine cables in the region.
The corridor generally serves to strengthen regional ties and facilitate information exchange among member states of ECOWAS.
