The completion of the Cape to Cairo network, was called out as one of Liquid Telecom’s key achievements since last year’s award. Part of the wider “One Africa” broadband network, which has been more than ten years in the making, it connects 13 African nations through over 60,000km of national and cross border fibre networks, including FTTH, metro and rural networks.

Ahmad Mokhles, Group COO at Liquid Telecom, who collected the award said: “This award goes to our entire team across Africa who work hard to provide a variety of services to ensure our network makes a meaningful contribution whilst also providing a platform for digital innovation across the continent. For the first time, Africa has a direct land-based communication link between Cape Town and Cairo, and I am glad the team were recognised for this historic milestone.”
