West Africa Cable System
http://dbpedia.org/resource/West_Africa_Cable_System
WACS (West Africa Cable System, soit Système de Câble ouest-africain) est un câble sous-marin construit par Alcatel-Lucent et reliant l'Afrique du Sud au Royaume-Uni en passant par l'océan Atlantique, au large de l'Afrique. Le câble se compose de quatre paires de fibres et mesure 14 530 km de longueur, reliant Yzerfontein dans le Cap occidental à Highbridge en Angleterre. Il dispose de 14 terminaux : 12 en Afrique et 2 en Europe, permettant de relier de nombreux pays africains à Internet. Son coût total de mise en place est de 650 millions de dollars. Originellement, WACS s'appelait Africa West Coast Cable (AWCC), soit câble côtier de l'ouest de l'Afrique, et devait également desservir l'Amérique du Sud, mais cela a été abandonné.

The cable consists of four fibre pairs and is 14,530 km in length, linking from Yzerfontein in the Western Cape of South Africa to London in the United Kingdom. It has 14 landing points, 12 along the western coast of Africa (including Cape Verde and Canary Islands) and 2 in Europe (Portugal and England) completed on land by a cable termination station in London. The total cost for the cable system is $650 million.WACS was originally known as the Africa West Coast Cable (AWCC) and was planned to branch to South America but this was dropped and the system eventually became the West African Cable System.
