Nokia and Baktelecom deploy XGS-PON in Azerbaijan

Philippine telco PLDT has reportedly launched what it’s billing as an “uninterruptible fiber internet connection” service that uses fixed wireless access (FWA) LTE as an automatic backup connection in case of a fibre outage.

Executives at Philippine broadband provider Converge ICT Solutions have reportedly said that two major international subsea cable networks it’s participating in are behind schedule and may not be completed until next year.

SAEx, the East Subsea Fibre-Optic Cable Project, which aims to connect South Africa with Singapore and that has reportedly been in development for more than a decade, seems to be back on track after a major investment.
