EC/IST FP6 Project No 026920 Work Package: 6 Type of document: Report Date: 20.12.2007 File name: OP_WP6_D37_V1.0.doc Version: 1.0 Title: Worldwide Market Research Report 210 / 356 national level. However competition in the building of new international fibre routes has been slower to arrive. International fibre routes are in effect a form of shared infrastructure and often shared between potential competitors. To build them requires considerable capital sums and there has to be ways of managing the risk. Unusually the risk is long-term and spread over the life of the cable, usually 25 years. Their subsequent management requires a clear framework for co-operation between participants. Because of Africa’s political and market risk, most projects of this sort combine public and private finance. For Example, the SAT-3 submarine communications cable (which runs from Europe down Africa's west coast) was monopolised, until June 2007, by a consortium of state-owned and private telecommunications providers in different countries, whose pricing structures have been the subject of criticism. Then, the Association of African Universities has called for African leaders to use the end of a monopoly on a submarine communications cable to provide cheaper Internet access for students (such as the university students of Ghana). Additionaly, on 19 June 2007, parliament's portfolio committee on communications approved the Nepad/Eassy protocol to build undersea and terrestrial links on Africa's eastern side. Countries that have signed the protocol are SA, Rwanda, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, Mauritius, Uganda and Tanzania. 5.4.3 Technical Network Configuration and Equipment Supplier In Africa there are relatively few projects concerning the use of PLC. Those that are there however, see the share of some among the most important PLC equipment producers: DS2, Ascom, Inovatech, Mitsubishi Electric, PLC International and Corinex. 5.4.3.1 DS2 [A39] Founded in 1998, Design of Systems on Silicon S.A. (DS2), is the leading supplier of silicon and software for Power line Communications and the first company to develop and market PLC chipsets delivering data rates of up to 200 Mbps. The company currently employs over 100 highly qualified graduates and continues to invest in the innovation and design of chips and in the development of strategic partnerships with manufacturers to

Universal Powerline Association (UPA) and the European Commission funded OPERA consortium have adopted DS2 technology in support of multi-vendor standard certified product. DS2-based products enable triple-play services (video, voice and data) over the same electrical network. In Africa, DS2 has worked in the construction of a PLC network in Pretoria (South Africa), Ghana and Uganda. 5.4.3.2 Ascom [A40] Ascom is an international solution provider with comprehensive technological know- how in Mission-Critical Communication. The company concentrates on the core areas of Wireless Solutions and Security Solutions. The company has subsidiaries in 17 countries and a workforce of some 2,100 employees worldwide. The Swiss company has supplied powerline equipment for the big project of Tshwane (South Africa) and Johannesburg. 5.4.3.3 InovaTech [A15] InovaTech is a global group of companies with extensive experience in high and low speed powerline communications technologies. InovaTech staff have expertise in design, installing, and operating telecommunications networks using existing electricity distribution infrastructures having worked on more than 40 projects in 20 countries across every continent. InovaTech was the second organization to be granted a development license by DS2, the global leader in access powerline communications. InovaTech's product range includes all elements required to build telecommunications networks including Customer Premises Equipment, Head Ends, Repeaters, Medium Voltage Transition Nodes, and low cost high performance PLC adaptors used for distributing broadband data services over domestic electricity wiring. InovaTech operates through 4 regional divisions covering Asia Pacific, EMEA, Americas and CIS. InovaTech EMEA is the division based in London, responsible for delivering products,
