How is WIOCC providing services to landlocked countries?
WIOCC shareholders own extensive in-country backhaul networks, which they are extending nationally and across the borders into landlocked countries. The East African Backhaul System (EABS), which is linking Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi via Tanzania and Kenya, is one example of how operators are collaborating to extend fibre-optic networks from the EASSy landing stations into the interior. Similar initiatives are happening in other regions, opening up fibre-based connectivity to 10 landlocked countries.
