Agreements are being put in place to allow the arrival of other operators in countries along the ACE cable route.

ACE Consortium consists of telecommunications operators and member countries that have invested in the total 700 million dollars project, sometimes with the financial support of the World Bank.

The consortium agreement was signed on 5 June 2010 and on 15 December 2012, this 17,000 km-long cable was put into service for the first time.

The ACE consortium members are organized according to a global access concept: multiple investors in one landing station.

ACE marine routes have a low history of fault and a time-proof technology.
