The Gambia’s Internet Revolution: How Fiber, 5G, and Satellite Broadband Are Connecting a Nation

The Gambia’s Internet Revolution: How Fiber, 5G, and Satellite Broadband Are Connecting a Nation

The Gambia has used the ACE submarine fiber-optic cable since 2011, but a 2022 ACE outage knocked the country offline for over eight hours and backup links via Senegal failed, prompting plans for a second submarine cable landing in Banjul under the World Bank-funded Western Africa Regional Digital Integration Program (WARDIP).

Nvidia’s New China-Only AI Superchip Outguns H20 Amid U.S.-China Tech Showdown

Nvidia’s New China-Only AI Superchip Outguns H20 Amid U.S.-China Tech Showdown

Nvidia is developing a China-only AI chip named B30A, based on the Blackwell architecture, designed to outpace the current H20 while complying with U.S. export controls.
