In a proactive move to safeguard the country’s internet services, the Liberian government has initiated the relocation of the landing point for the ACE submarine cable. This crucial initiative, spearheaded by the Liberia Telecommunications Authority (LTA) alongside the incumbent telecommunication operator and the Cable Consortium of Liberia (CCL), is projected to cost approximately $200,000.

The decision to relocate stems from the construction of a monument in PHP Park, the original connection point for the ACE cable. As the site is no longer accessible for cable maintenance or repairs, the government has declared that the cable must be rerouted to ensure uninterrupted service in the future. The LTA announced the operation through a statement on its Facebook page, emphasizing the importance of maintaining connectivity for the nation.
