SAT-3/WASC or South Atlantic 3/West Africa Submarine Cable is a submarine communications cable linking Portugal and Spain to South Africa, with connections to several West African countries along the route. It forms part of the SAT-3/WASC/SAFE cable system, where the SAFE cable links South Africa to Asia. The SAT-3/WASC/SAFE system provides a path between Asia and Europe for telecommunications traffic that is an alternative to the cable routes that pass through the Middle East, such as SEA-ME-WE 3 and FLAG. SAT-3 has a capacity of 340 Gbit/s while SAFE has a capacity of 440 Gbit/s. The SAT-3 system together with SAFE was built by a consortium of operators . As of 2006, major investors included Telkom Group (about 13%), France Telecom (12.08%), Nitel (8.39%); TCI, a subsidiary of AT&T Inc.

  • South Africa Transit 3/West Africa Submarine Cable (SAT-3/WASC) est un câble sous-marin de télécommunications en fibres optiques qui relie l'Europe à l'Afrique du Sud avec des dérivations dans de nombreux pays d'Afrique de l'ouest contrairement à son prédécesseur . Son déploiement est intimement lié à celui du câble SAFE. L'ensemble SAT 3/WASC & SAFE fait partie d'un seul consortium constitué de 37 opérateurs. Ceci permet, outre la desserte de l'Afrique de l'ouest, d'assurer une sécurisation du trafic Europe/Asie (SEA-ME-WE 3 entre autres) par le sud de l'Afrique. Le consortium est actuellement dirigé par Telkom SA qui assure également la fonction d'administrateur du réseau. (fr)
