Fibre Optic Cable
Fibre Optic Cable
KPC operates a ninety-six (96No.) core Fibre Optic Cable (FOC) that runs along the oil pipeline. KPC was licensed by the Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK) in 2018 to offer FOC services to telecommunications firms in the form of dark fiber leases. The network topology of the KPC optic fibre communications lends itself to signal interception for distribution at regular intervals along the pipeline stretching from Mombasa through Nairobi to Eldoret and Kisumu, cutting across all towns along the central commercial corridor.
