Angola Cables Launches TelCables Europe, Expanding Global Network Reach via Portugal’s SINES DC Data Center

Angola Cables has announced the establishment of TelCables Europe to operate as its European subsidiary and to support its growing international global network. Beyond acting as a digital bridge to connect to other Portuguese speaking countries across the world, TelCables Europe will offer a wide range of digital solutions, including peering, Cloud services and interconnectivity solutions to customers across Europe and the Mediterranean. 

As part of this initiative, and through an agreement with Start Campus, the company will also establish a new point of presence at the carrier-neutral, SINES DC facility, Europe’s largest and most sustainable data center development.    

Samuel Carvalho, Chief Marketing Officer for Angola Cables, said that Portugal is fast evolving into an important digital hub for connectivity and data traffic inbound to Europe and outbound from Europe to the world. Given its modern data center infrastructure, established terrestrial networks and proximity in Southwest Europe to existing subsea cables, the SINES DC facility is already becoming one of the most important continental exchange points in Portugal and Europe.  

Strategically, it makes sense for us to have a presence and PoP in Europe as we have easy access to EllaLink and our Monet and SACS cables, taking data traffic to and from Europe to the US, South America and Africa. The unique location and advanced facilities at SINES DC provide an ideal environment for TelCables Europe to operate and innovate.   

From Sines we are able to connect customers to more than 66 other data centers across the world, over 40 PoPs in Europe and over 400 connected Clouds through our 100G scalable, ultra-low latency global network. We can also give more customers and businesses alternative and diversified redundancy routing options to Africa, the Middle East and the Americas through our owned subsea cable and partner networks.

Angola Cables already delivers low-latency connections and IP Transit services from Europe to the USA and South America through its partnership with the EllaLink cable.   

With our Atlantic ring of cables – including Monet, SACS and WACS – we offer multiple redundancy options and capacity for businesses reliant on efficient, low latency international connectivity.

Robert Dunn, Chief Executive Officer of Start Campus, said that the inclusion of Angola Cables and TelCables Europe to their expanding portfolio of network service providers available on site further strengthens SINES DC’s connectivity options for customers and clients seeking to connect to markets in Brazil, Africa and beyond.  

Angelo Gama, CEO of Angola Cables says that TelCables Europe is a logical step in the expansion of its international network and services as Portugal is the gateway to Europe.  By 2026, it is anticipated that the 22 submarine cables presently landing in Portugal will extend to 124 cable landing stations worldwide, establishing direct cable connections to 75 countries across five continents, consolidating Portugal’s leading position as the only country that directly connects via deep sea cables to all inhabited continents. 

As the most interconnected network operator in Africa, we believe that we can play a dynamic role in strengthening connectivity and partnerships between Africa, Europe and the rest of the world, connecting not just the Portuguese speaking world, but bringing continents and countries together through more efficient, more flexible and more secure digital connectivity options.
