Alphavalue / Divacons | The Spanish telecommunications company has awarded ZTE, the Chinese telecommunications network manufacturer, a project to build a fibre optic line in the Basque Country, connecting Sopelana (Biscay), where transatlantic submarine cables arrive, with the French border in Irún. The new infrastructure will provide an alternative or diversified route between northern Spain and France.
This deployment will allow technology companies, which provide Internet services, data centres, streaming services, telecommunications, etc., to have a totally diversified route from those currently available.
This deployment is the first step for Masorange as a new competitive player in the large transmission infrastructure market in Spain.
