<p>Burkina Faso is already connected to all its neighbors, with the exception of Benin, which is already present in Porga (Border with Burkina). Thus, the realization of this link is fully integrated into PIDA PAP 2020 and the ECOWAS Regional Connectivity Integration Strategy, which has made the development of broadband infrastructure among Member States a priority. This link will be integrated into the network currently being deployed as part the National Backbone Telecommunications Project (PBNT), of which Fada N'Gourma is a main node of the national and international transmission network.</p>
<p>The section goes from Fada N'Grouma to Benin border at Porga where the physical interconnection of the optical cables will be realized with Benin Telecoms.<br />
The passive infrastructure includes two HDPE tubes, one of which will contain a 36-core G.652D cable. The length of the network is 160 km. The transmission network is IP-MPLS over OTN over DWDM with a transport capacity at the installation of 100 G. One point of presence will be created halfway to Pama.</p>
