For Camtel, this strategic partnership addresses the imperative of controlling capital expenditure (capex) linked to the expansion of the national fiber optic network. Anchoring telecom cables to the power grid's lines and pylons will open new transmission routes, increase interurban link redundancy, and significantly reduce deployment lead times in areas with complex topography.

This physical pooling ensures greater resilience of the national backbone, limiting the risk of service interruption caused by public works or damage to buried networks. It also offers the public operator the opportunity to maximize the yield of its existing facilities by leasing out surplus capacity.

On Socadel's side, privileged access to bandwidth and Camtel's high-speed interconnection solutions constitutes a decisive lever for modernizing its operating tools. The secure connection of its commercial agencies, dispatch centers, and transformer substations will facilitate remote network control and real-time consumption data feedback.

Integrating information technology at the heart of electricity distribution aims to optimize flow management, reduce technical losses, and improve responsiveness during operating incidents. By combining the logistics of the kilowatt and the megabit, the two entities intend to establish an operational efficiency model in line with the country's major public service modernization objectives.
