The Tanzanian Telecommunications Corporation Limited (TTCL) plans to extend its broadband connectivity to Burundi. It signed an agreement with Burundi Backbone Systems (BBS), a group of telco operators in Burundi to provide internet connectivity in the country. 

 

This is part of the first phase of connecting the member states of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) that was successfully conducted in Rwanda, Malawi, and Zambia.

 

The layering of broadband internet services in Burundi will pass through Kabanga and Manyovu in the border region of Kigoma. The connection will be conducted by the TTCL and managed by Tanzanian National ICT Broadband Backbone (NICTBB).

The decade long deal will upgrade the internet speed from 2.5 bits per second to 10 billion bits per second. It will connect Burundi to the Seacom and Eassy International undersea cable systems and ease business operations in the country.

 

TTCL announced plans to implement the $6 million worth fibre connectivity to link up members of the SADC in August 2019. The decade long project aims to interconnect Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mauritius, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Comoros. 

 

The successful implementation of the project will make communication easier and drive the digital economy within the region. It will also allow TTCL to broaden its business portfolio.
