In an unprecedented development, Bandwidth and Cloud Services Group (BCS) has installed a fast internet fiber optic cable over railway line along Vicfalls to Beitbridge and Midlands, which is now active, carrying wholesale bandwidth market in Zimbabwe.
The official commissioning of this fibre link is set for the 7th of March in Somabula, Midlands by President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
The 1000km link is a first to be dug along our railway lines, using already existing lanes to plough the high capacity fiber cable connecting across the country, and main tourism sites and last mile gateway.
