Project Showcase

Deployment and implementation of a broadband connectivity link between Kinshasa and Lusaka through the link Muanda-Kinshasa then Kinshasa-Kasumbalesa, afterwards establishes a cross boarder connection operated by Zamtel in Zambia and la Société Congolaise des Postes et des Télécommunications (SCPT) in DRC.

The project involves the construction of a fibre optic network from Lusaka to Kasumbalesa a town at the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

The project aims to provide solutions to the problems of interruption of navigation on Oubangui River, tributary of the Congo River in the region of Central Africa. This is particularly the case during periods of low water levels, and the supply of electricity to the Central African Republic (CAR), North Congo and the Congo. DRC, through the construction of a Oubangui flow control and power generation dam at the Palambo site, is about 60 km upstream from Bangui. The characteristics of the scenario chosen among the solutions proposed by SOGREAH in 1990 were as follows: Normal retention rating of 361 m; Height of the dam of approximately 18 m; Area of 606 x106 m 2; Length of approximately 1,200 m; Minimum downstream flow to reach at Zinga, about 70 km downstream from Bangui of 920 m3 / s; Storage volume of 2,370 million m3; Power generation of 30 MW; Number of groups of 4 bulbs (unit flow: 94 m3 / s).
