Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
GAMTEL holds the only national
gateway and all ISPs lease bandwidth and route their traffic
through this Gateway. The Total Internet Bandwidth is 100MB.
100MB of this is leased through SONATEL, the main Telecoms
Company in Senegal with connection to the undersea cable and the
other 30MB is through satellite. The GAMTEL-SONATEL connection is
through a a fibre link to Dakar via Basse (Gambia) and Wellingara
(Senegal). A backup microwave link from Banjul to Kaolack and fibre
from Kaolack to Dakar is in place.

The National backbone bandwidth (i.e., internet speed from all Points of Presence, PoPs to the Gateway) has a capacity of 2MB. In order to effectively rationalize/optimize the use of the International bandwidth, efforts are far advanced to complete the installation of MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) which will increase the national backbone bandwidth to 34MB. This is expected to be completed by June 2009.
