A World-Class Telecommunications Infrastructure
Mauritius Telecom has built a world-class, resilient, and future-ready telecommunications infrastructure, making Mauritius one of the most connected nations in Africa and globally. We continuously invest in cutting-edge technology and connectivity solutions:
Global connectivity via submarine cables
MT has established a seamless and redundant global connectivity through continued investment in diverse and independent routes such as SAFE, LION and T3 submarine cables. Our third and more recent submarine cable T3, which links Mauritius to South Africa, has a total capacity of 72 terabits per second. Our submarine cables, with the North Route going through LION/LION2-EASSy-EIG cables, provide a direct link to Europe. Furthermore, our strategic points of presence in Europe, Asia, and Africa, facilitate seamless connectivity across these regions, using new cable systems such as Equiano, PEACE and SMW5.
100% island-wide fibre connectivity
Our island-wide fibre deployment enables all individuals and businesses in Mauritius to benefit from ultra-high-speed broadband internet. Based on the FTTH/B Global Ranking of September 2023, Mauritius is among the Top 10 most fibered countries in the world. And as per nPerf's report for 2024, Mauritius Telecom's fixed internet services are the fastest in the country, providing the best customer experience. Our fixed internet has also been recognised as the fastest fixed internet by Ookla for the semester 2 2024.
5G leadership
The 4G LTE network of Mauritius Telecom covers the entire island. In 2021, MT pioneered the introduction of 5G in Mauritius, with plans to achieve full island coverage by 2025, hence powering next-generation applications. According to Ookla's report for the second half of 2024 and first half of 2025, Mauritius Telecom has been recognised as having both the best mobile network and the fastest 5G network in the country.
