<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>DAKAR: A subsea cable owned by Google<\/a> that promises to double internet<\/a> speeds for millions in Africa arrived in Togo on Friday, the company said, the latest step in a multi-year project to provide cheaper access to users across the continent.

The
Equiano cable<\/a>, the first of its kind to reach Africa, has wound its way from Portugal and will double internet speed<\/a> for Togo's 8 million residents, Google said in a statement.

That may be a taste of things to come for other countries set to benefit in a region where internet use is rising fast but where networks are often cripplingly slow and are a drag on economic development.

The new line will also make land in Nigeria, Namibia and South Africa, with possible branches offering connections to nearby countries. It is expected to start operating by the end of the year.

Sub-Saharan Africa is the world's least-connected region, with around a quarter of the population still lacking
mobile broadband coverage<\/a> compared to 7% globally, according to a 2020 report by GSMA Intelligence.

Most countries in West Africa are at the bottom of a World Bank global ranking on internet penetration.

Togo will be the first to benefit. The cable is expected to reduce
internet prices<\/a> by 14% by 2025, according to an Africa Practice and Genesis Analytics assessment commissioned by Google.

Google said the cable will indirectly create 37,000 jobs in Togo by 2025 and boost GDP by $193 million.

爱克伊诺电缆,首次到达非洲,从葡萄牙和蜿蜒双网络速度多哥的800万居民,谷歌在一份声明中说。

大多数国家在西非的底部是一个世界银行全球互联网普及率排名。

多哥将首先受益。电缆预计将减少网上的价格14%,到2025年,据一位非洲实践和成因分析评估委托谷歌。
