User Case
[Construction Route of Taihan Fiberoptics’ Fiber Optic Cable Between Kinshasa and Muanda]
The Democratic Republic of the Congo faced the problem of developing its poor optical communication infrastructure due to frequent breakdowns of the existing fiber-optic backbone network and the participation restriction in building the national backbone network of the private sector. The government was looking for the measures to promote the competition between the high-speed Internet service markets to overcome these problems. Therefore, based on the 93 million dollars of the subsidy supported by the World Bank, Congo worked on the fiber optic cable construction project throughout the capital and the southeastern economic center (Kinshasa-Lubumbashi-Goma), under the supervision of the SOCOF (Societe Congolaise de Fibre Opticque SA), a new organization in charge of the optical infrastructure of Congo. Taihan Fiberoptics, as the executor of this project, successfully completed 1 year of construction and 3 months of entrusted management, and was merited for its product competitiveness and business performance
- Challenge
- Congo had to build a national backbone network that supports optical fiber-based high-speed communication to solve the low Internet penetration rate problem. The Datareportal report says the rate of the Internet users in Congo is 23.3%, which is at the lowest level compared to the averages of the world and the central Africa. Due to the private business regulations by the Congolese government and the poor market environment, the development of the optical communication infrastructure was slow so that it was hard for many citizens in Congo to use the high quality communication service like 5G at a reasonable price and they had to rely on the old communications technology.
- Solution
- Among the eight candidates who participated in a bid of the project in 2017, Taihan Fiberoptics was selected for the project executor. All construction processes were conducted in a turnkey way and supplied products with its excellent technical skills well known in developing countries.
- Benefit
- Taihan Fiberoptics worked on the local construction for about one year and succeeded in building the 620km long fiber optic cable that connects the capital of Congo, Kinshasa and the west coast city, Muanda. It is meaningful that this backbone network promotes competition between telecommunication service providers to provide high-speed broadband service and spread high-quality communications network building service so that Congo now has the core infrastructure to lead future economic growth. The residents of the areas nearby the optical communication backbone network will be able to enjoy the benefits of the various high-speed communications services such as mobile communications, social media, multimedia contents, data, and applications based on the broadband network.
Also, Taihan Fiberoptics could efficiently accomplish this project by adopting the installation method of the OSP (Outside Plant) fiber optic cable in spite of the challenging local work conditions.
- Challenge
-
- Absence of fiber-optic backbone network that supports stable high-speed Internet throughout the whole area of Congo
- Poor Internet quality due to aged infrastructure in underdeveloped areas
- Solution
-
- Fiber optic cable
- OSP turnkey project
- Benefit
-
- Building 620kim of fiber optic cable that connects the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kinshasa and a west coast city, Muanda
- Laying the foundation for providing stable broadband Internet service for residents of Kinshasa and other surrounding areas
- Preparing core infrastructure to lead economic growth by spreading high quality communications network building service
[Construction Route of Taihan Fiberoptics’ Fiber Optic cable in Central African Republic Section of Central African Backbone Project]
In order to develop major countries in Central Africa, as the areas providing the optical network-based high-speed Internet service, as the first step out of 5 of the ‘Central African Backbone’ project, the fiber optic cable construction project, which connects Chad, Cameroon, and the Central Africa, went ahead. The project aims at expanding the high-speed Internet service up to the inland Chad and Central Africa, based on the submarine fiber-optic cables connected to Cameroon. Taihan Fiberoptics joined the national project of the Central African Republic, the Central African Backbone, based on the funds of the African Development Bank (AFDB), and successfully completed it.
- Challenge
- The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the Central African Republic intended to promote expansion of the domestic broadband Internet and the growth of
the private sector project by securing connectivity with the global fiber optic network and broadband service. Since the Central African Republic was disconnected
from the fiber optic cable system connected with Europe and other African areas due to its geographic limitation, a landlocked country, it had to rely on the
old satellite communication technology to use the international network bandwidth and was suffering from the inefficient problem of low quality and high cost.
Hence, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the Central African Republic decided to promote the CENTRAL AFRICA FIBRE-OPTIC BACKBONE PROJECT (CAB) – CAR COMPONENT to kick-start its economy. This project was designed to strengthen the connectivity of the submarine fiber-optic cables which are the connecting passage with the global broadband network and build fiber-optic backbone network within the country by building the fiber-optic cables that connect with the intersection point of the fiber-optic cables in the border area between Cameroon and Congo. It required risk management skills through high quality, differentiated technical construction, and similar project experiences as well as cost effectiveness.
- Solution
- In September 2019, Taihan Fiberoptics won the 29.5 billion won turnkey construction project to build the fiber-optic backbone network from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the Central African Republic and played a key role in expanding the fiber-optic backbone network of the Central African Republic to Cameroon and Congo. Securing in advance the professionals who influence on the success in the local project execution allowed us to design high quality services at a reasonable cost to raise its efficiency.
- Benefit
- Taihan Fiberoptics successfully completed the 14-month construction of about 925km of the fiber optic cables that connect Bangui, the capital of the Central African
Republic, Gamboula, the border of Cameroon, and Salo, an area near the border of Congo. Therefore, by building a new core route in the fiber-optic cable infrastructure connected with the submarine cables on the western African coast, it enabled the Central African Republic to use the cost-effective global broadband bandwidth and could contribute to expanding the local broadband network services and activating communications.
Modernization of the backbone network is expected to activate use of the ICT service of all people of the Central African Republic as the data center, e-government platform, digital training center, and digital community center are built and managed in many cities and rural areas in the Central African Republic through the improved network bandwidth, speed and stability.
- Challenge
-
- Kick-start of private economy
- Increase in broadband service range and utilization
- Improvement and expansion of ICT service
- Solution
-
- OSP turnkey project
- Optical transmission equipment, monitoring system, hybrid power system
- Benefit
-
- Successfully building 925km long fiber optic cables that connect from Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic, Gamboula, the border of Cameroon, and up to Salo, Congo for 14 months
- Laying the foundation for expanding high capacity broadband service
