South Sudan Fiber Optic Cable Replacement Manufacturer

Bayobab, a wholesale fiber optic subsidiary of MTN Group, is spearheading the deployment of a fiber optic network across South Sudan to strengthen the country's digital infrastructure and provide affordable, reliable internet access . The company has extensive experience in Africa, operating a proprietary terrestrial fiber network of over 114,000 km and planning to expand by an additional 135,000 km by 2025 . Bayobab's strategy includes densifying its network and integrating the 2Africa submarine cable, positioning itself as a leading open-access digital infrastructure platform . The company's involvement in South Sudan aligns with its broader Ambition 2030 strategy to expand fiber services across the continent.

NCT (Nile Cable & Towers Ltd), licensed by the National Communications Authority in 2021, is a nationwide telecom infrastructure company specializing in fiber optic networks and tower infrastructure . NCT provides comprehensive services including planning, deployment, and maintenance of optical fiber backbones, metro networks, and FTTS infrastructure. The company also offers dark fiber solutions through leasing unused fiber cores or full fiber capacity. Notably, NCT has been actively supporting the Bayobab E2W Fiber Optic Network Deployment Project, ensuring operational reliability from Juba to Torit .

IPTEC Limited is another key player providing high-speed fiber optic internet services in South Sudan, focusing on enterprise-grade and residential connectivity . While IPTEC primarily delivers service rather than manufacturing fiber infrastructure, it plays a significant role in leveraging the upgraded network for end-users.

The fiber optic upgrade in South Sudan is primarily driven by Bayobab, with operational and technical support from NCT South Sudan, while companies like IPTEC provide service delivery over the upgraded infrastructure. These collaborations aim to expand internet access, improve digital infrastructure, and support future-ready connectivity across the country .
