East Africa Connect

East–West Connect is Paratus Group’s dedicated terrestrial fiber route linking Maputo to Swakopmund, creating a resilient east-to-west corridor across Southern Africa.

By bypassing vulnerable sub-sea cable paths, the route delivers low-latency, high-reliability connectivity between key regional hubs. Direct integration with the Equiano sub-sea cable in Swakopmund ensures stable, high-capacity access to Europe, supporting uninterrupted operations for carriers, operators and wholesale partners.

The route strengthens regional interconnection and improves traffic diversity across Southern Africa. It also provides a dependable alternative during international cable disruptions.

Paratus Express Route

The Paratus Express Route is the fastest fiber connection from Johannesburg to Europe, delivering ultra-low latency of just 123 milliseconds. Running via Botswana to Swakopmund, the route connects directly to the Equiano sub-sea cable, extending to Lisbon and London.

Built on advanced DWDM technology, it provides a resilient alternative out of South Africa, ensuring consistent performance, reduced outage risk and reliable international connectivity for global network operators.

This route is designed for high-capacity wholesale traffic and latency-sensitive applications. It enables businesses to operate with confidence across international markets.
