Zamtel's fiber-optic network will be connected to the cable ship Nexus (CS Nexus) intercontinental cable that runs under the Indian Ocean from South Africa to Sudan. The CS Nexus undersea cable connects Africa to Europe and Asia, which are Zambia's most active communication destinations.
Zamtel's new fiber-optic network is expected to be operational by the second quarter of 2007.
