Alcatel-Lucent installs network for Maroc

NEW DELHI: Alcatel-Lucent has completed the manufacturing and installation of Atlas Offshore submarine cable network for Moroccan telecommunication operator Maroc Telecom. The network links Asilah (Morocco) with Marseille (France) directly interconnecting Maroc Telecom with the various European operators and supports the growth and convergence of fixed and mobile services.

Atlas Offshore spanning over 1,630 km, offers advanced restoration capabilities and serves as backhaul infrastructure to the existing Eurafrica submarine system connecting France, Morocco and Portugal - and to Sea-Me-We 3.

Maroc Telecom will be able to deliver high-speed services such as high-speed Internet, TV over ADSL, mobile data services, and off-shoring activities.

"This new submarine network contributes to improving global connectivity for both consumers and business,” said Jean Godeluck, president of Alcatel-Lucent’s submarine networking activities.
