Alcatel Supplies SDH to Burkina Faso

Alcatel will supply its SDH optical multi-service transmission equipment to ONATEL (National Office of Telecommunications), the first national operator in Burkina Faso, to modernize the transmission network and interconnect Burkina Faso with the neighboring countries (Ivory Coast, Mali, Togo and Ghana) as well as getting access to the high capacity submarine cable SAT3. Alcatel will also supply the cable optical fiber in the eastern side of the country. The new transport infrastructure, which will be supervised by Alcatel’s network management solution, will help to increase the national network’s traffic handling capability and allow interconnection with four other African countries.
