Mauritania trusts EllaLink for its new international submarine cable connection

DUBLIN and NOUAKCHOTT, Mauritania, July 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EllaLink, the owner of a high–capacity optic–fibre submarine cable directly connecting Europe and Latin America, and the Ministère de la Transformation Numérique et de la Modernisation de l’Administration (MTNMA) of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania have signed a contract for the construction, operation and maintenance of a second international link that will directly connect the country to Madrid, Spain.

The new diverse infrastructure will provide Mauritania with direct cost–effective international connectivity up to European main exchanges.

The project includes the construction of a Cable Landing Station in Nouadhibou, the second largest city of Mauritania and a +500km branch connected to existing EllaLink’s subsea cable system. Alcatel Submarine Networks has been selected to build the subsea section which will include two fibre pairs and use state–of–the–art optical technologies such as a ROADM WSS branching unit. EllaLink will be also in charge of the operation & maintenance of this new infrastructure.

The construction has started, and the infrastructure is projected to be ready for service early 2027. The new infrastructure will deliver to the national operators an initial 200Gbps low latency direct circuit between the new cable landing station of Nouadhibou and EllaLink’s Point of Presence in Madrid.

This new diverse submarine cable will reinforce the Mauritanian international connectivity reducing the risk of disruption of the Mauritanian economy and supporting the digital transformation of the country with capacity set to grow for the next 25 years.

The project is supported by the European Investment Bank and by the CEF Digital program of the European Commission.

EllaLink's new connection in Mauritania confirms the company’s strategy to expand connectivity across geographies along its transatlantic route. Philippe Dumont, CEO of EllaLink, expressed enthusiasm about this achievement: “We are proud to support Mauritania’s vision of advancing its digital economy. This cutting–edge connection will not only strengthen Mauritania’s international network but also offer direct, cost–effective access to key internet exchanges in Europe.”

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) and Sultan Logistics have signed a contract to establish a logistics park at King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam, with an investment of up to SAR 200 million. The new park will span an area of 197,000 square meters and aim to enhance the port’s competitiveness, increase its operational efficiency, and improve the efficiency of the logistics services provided.

The contract was signed by the acting president of the Saudi Ports Authority, Mr. Mazen bin Ahmed Al–Turki, and the chairman of Sultan Logistics, Mr. Ali Sultan Al–Qahtani, in the presence of several officials.

This logistics park is part of Mawani’s initiatives. It is aligned with the objectives of the National Transport and Logistics Strategy, which seeks to establish logistics parks inside and outside the Kingdom’s ports. The initiative aims to solidify Saudi Arabia’s standing as a global logistics hub, provide reliable logistics services, drive national development, and support the Kingdom’s economic and social ambitions per Saudi Vision 2030.

The logistics park will feature 35,000–square–meter warehouses, administrative offices, and a yard dedicated to the storage and maintenance of dry and refrigerated containers. It will also include a re–export area, enhancing logistics services and supporting commercial movement with high operational capabilities.

The new logistics park will strengthen King Abdulaziz Port's competitive advantage by offering specialized logistics services, increasing private sector participation in economic development, and promoting economic diversification.

The year 2024 witnessed the launch, cornerstone laying, and inauguration of eight logistics parks and centers, with a total private sector investment of nearly SAR 2.9 billion. These investments are part of developing over 20 logistics centers under Mawani’s supervision across Saudi ports, with total investments exceeding SAR 10 billion. Among the highlights was the inauguration of Maersk’s largest global logistics investment at Jeddah Islamic Port, valued at SAR 1.3 billion and covering 225,000 square meters.

Mavenir und O2 Telefónica Germany stärken Partnerschaft mit mehrjähriger IMS-Vertragsverlängerung für Cloud-native IMS-Dienste

MÜNCHEN und BONN, Deutschland, March 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mavenir, ein Anbieter von Cloud–nativen Netzwerkinfrastrukturen, der die Zukunft von Netzwerken gestaltet, gibt heute bekannt, dass er seine langfristige Partnerschaft mit Telefónica und dessen weltweit operierenden Unternehmen durch die Unterzeichnung eines neuen Fünfjahresvertrags gestärkt hat. Der Vertrag sieht vor, dass O2 Telefónica Germany von Mavenirs virtualisiertem IMS (vIMS) auf die Cloud–native IMS–Lösung umsteigt. Die mehrjährige Vertragsverlängerung umfasst sowohl Festnetz– als auch Mobilfunk–IMS–Netze, die den gesamten Kundenstamm von O2 Telefónica Germany bedienen.

Die Cloud–native, webbasierte IMS–Plattform von Mavenir bietet eine grundlegende Technologie für Mobilfunknetze der nächsten Generation, die Sprache über LTE (VoLTE) und Sprache über New Radio (VoNR) auf einem gemeinsamen IMS–Kern unterstützt und die Kontinuität der Sprache zwischen 4G und 5G erleichtert. Die IMS–Dienste von Mavenir funktionieren in jeder Cloud – ob öffentlich oder privat – und werden als zustandslose Microservices in Containern bereitgestellt, was Betreibern die Möglichkeit gibt, Innovationen zu beschleunigen und neue Services schnell einzuführen.

Die Fachzeitschrift connect bewertete O2 Telefónica Germany in ihrem jüngsten unabhängigen Mobile Network Test 2025 mit „sehr gut“, was auch die hohe Leistung und Servicequalität widerspiegelt, die mit der vIMS–Lösung von Mavenir erreicht wurde.

Matthias Sauder, Director Networks bei O2 Telefónica in Deutschland, dazu: „Es war eine logische Entscheidung, unsere erfolgreiche Technologiepartnerschaft mit Mavenir zu verlängern, die uns geholfen hat, unseren Kunden die beste Servicequalität aller Zeiten zu bieten und unsere Investitionen in agile Netzinnovationen zu optimieren. Die eindeutige Führungsposition von Mavenir im Bereich der Virtualisierung von Netzwerkfunktionen führte zu seiner anfänglichen Auswahl und hat seither transformative neue Fähigkeiten in unserem gesamten Betrieb bereitgestellt. Da die Welt die Möglichkeiten nutzt, die durch künstliche Intelligenz und Automatisierung geschaffen werden, um Schnittstellen für die digitale Transformation zu öffnen, wird Cloud–Native IMS von Mavenir eine zentrale Plattform für unsere fortlaufende Netzwerkentwicklung sein und neue Wege zur Wertschöpfung für unser Unternehmen und unsere Kunden eröffnen.“

Antonio Correa, Senior RVP Southern Europe, Caribbean & Latin America bei Mavenir, fügt hinzu: „Unsere langjährige Partnerschaft mit Telefónica, die sich über mehrere Live–Implementierungen erstreckt, gibt weiterhin das Tempo für die Entwicklung von Software–Geschwindigkeitsnetzen und die Einführung fortschrittlicher virtualisierter Technologien vor. Als anerkannter Marktführer im Bereich Cloud–natives IMS sehen wir in dieser mehrjährigen Erweiterung unseres Angebots für O2 Telefónica Germany eine spannende Gelegenheit, die Leistungs– und Serviceverbesserungen der nächsten Generation voranzutreiben, die wir in Zusammenarbeit mit einem Betreiber, der sich stark für Konnektivitätsinnovation, Exzellenz und Integration einsetzt, in einzigartiger Weise realisieren können.“
