AI is reshaping infrastructure needs at an unprecedented pace. Hyperscalers, neo-cloud providers and AI labs all face the same challenge: how to deploy high-capacity, low-latency and resilient connectivity fast enough. Networks become a critical part of AI performance. Training, inference, GPU cluster interconnection, real-time applications… all require infrastructure designed for massive data transport, predictable latency and rapid deployment. At Orange Wholesale, we support this transformation with AI-ready connectivity infrastructures: 👉 Dark Fiber 👉 Managed Optical Fiber Networks (MOFN) 👉 Diversified terrestrial and subsea routes 👉 Scalable, secure and low-latency networks   Swipe to discover how connectivity is becoming a strategic enabler for the AI ecosystem.

Day 1 : #ITW2026 starts now! Over the next three days, the telecom industry will gather in National Harbor to discuss the major transformations reshaping connectivity: 👉 AI-driven infrastructure 👉 Subsea connectivity 👉 Programmable networks 👉 NaaS and new growth models At Orange Wholesale, we’re excited to join these conversations alongside industry leaders and partners. 🎤 Our experts will be taking the stage throughout the event to share insights on: • AI-ready infrastructure • Managed Optical Fiber Networks (MOFN) • Network monetization • The future of subsea connectivity • Trusted and programmable networks 📍Meet us at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. Orange Wholesale meeting rooms – Suite #19215 Looking forward to connecting, exchanging ideas and shaping the future of connectivity together.  #PoweringTrustedConnectivity #ITW2026

🌍 The new geography of the Internet The world has changed and so must the routes of the Internet. For decades, global traffic has been concentrated along a few historic corridors: the North Atlantic and the Suez-Mediterranean route. Networks designed for a different era, a different scale. Today, new routes are emerging. The West African coastline, connecting a continent of 1.4 billion people undergoing rapid digital transformation. Beyond these major global arteries, other cables serve a different purpose: connecting remote territories, breaking isolation, and enabling access to digital services, education, healthcare, and local economies. This is connectivity that goes beyond linking data centers. This is connectivity that changes lives. Orange Wholesale is investing in these new routes, not as a follower, but as a pioneer. Because laying a cable today means shaping the geography of the Internet for the next 25 years. 🌍 Global connectivity will no longer be defined by the maps of the past. It will be defined by what we build today. The upcoming subsea cable Via Africa exemplifies this new era.

#News Via Africa : A major new Europe–Africa submarine cable project that will connect Europe to Africa along the Atlantic coast   Today, investors including Canalink, GUILAB, International Mauritania Telecom, Orange Group, Orange Côte d'Ivoire, Sonatel, Silverlinks, announce the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to initiate the Via Africa submarine cable project, confirming a shared ambition to develop international connectivity, to support traffic growth and to strengthen the resilience of networks across the African continent.

🌍 AI is reshaping infrastructure at an unprecedented pace.   For hyperscalers and neo-cloud providers, the challenge is no longer just compute power. It’s about how fast networks can be built, scaled and operated to support the AI race.   📍 Join us at #ITW2026 for the Sip & Learn session: Powering the connectivity behind the AI race 🗓️ May 20, 2026 🕓 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM 📍 Woodrow Wilson Stage, Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center   🎤 Franck Morales, SVP Marketing & Business Development at Orange Wholesale, will join: • Will Rhodes, Ciena • Owen Rogers, Uptime Institute • Liam Donnelly, Digicel Group.   Together, they will discuss: 👉 How #AI is accelerating the need for scalable optical infrastructure 👉 Why new consumption models like #MOFN are transforming deployment speed 👉 How carriers can help simplify operations while ensuring performance, resilience and security 👉 What it takes to support mission-critical AI workloads at scale   As AI demand grows, network infrastructure becomes a strategic differentiator.   Join the discussion and discover how connectivity is powering the next phase of AI growth.

Resilience is built to avoid outage.   Today, with more than 99% of intercontinental traffic running through submarine cables, these are the indispensable arteries of the global internet. And every year, numerous incidents are recorded and yet remain transparent to you.   👉 Service continuity does not rely on a single infrastructure asset, but on the ability to anticipate.   At Orange Wholesale, this resilience is built on four pillars: ➡️ Route diversity By multiplying possible paths, we reduce dependence on a single route ensuring secure traffic rerouting over submarine, terrestrial or satellite cables. ➡️ Continuous monitoring Our teams provide 24/7 surveillance to detect any anomalies, instantly reroute traffic, and trigger a rapid response if needed. ➡️ Global intervention capability Orange Marine teams can set sail in under 24 hours and intervene across all oceans, down to 6,000 m deep. ➡️ A unique geographical footprint Spanning the oceans to connect the world through major hubs   In a world where digital traffic grows by 40% per year, resilience is no longer optional. It is a requirement.   It is also a long-term strategy: by developing new routes around Africa, towards Asia, and between Europe and the Americas, Orange Wholesale is building a broader, secure and resilient network.   Because trust is not proclaimed. It is built cable by cable, route by route. #PoweringTrustedConnectivity

🌊 99% of intercontinental data travels through the bottom of the oceans. Submarine cables are silent, invisible and absolutely essential.   With 450,000 km of fiber deployed and operated in submarine cables, Orange Wholesale is one of the few players in the world capable of managing this infrastructure end to end: from network design to cable repair at sea, via Orange Marine.   In a world where data volumes grow by 40% every year, reliable connectivity is more critical than ever.   ➡️ Discover how we keep the world connected even in the most remote territories. #PoweredTrustedConnectivity #SubmarineCables

🏢 A network doesn't stop end with fiber.  To carry data over long distances, the signal needs to be regenerated every 80 to 100 km. 👉 That's where hosting comes in. At Orange Wholesale: • Over 200 hosting sites across France • Available capacity to accommodate your equipment • direct integration with our fibre network 👉 Result: • long-distance links • maintained performance • optimised infrastructure Because behind every link… there is an infrastructure that makes the network possible.   To discover our offers 👉 https://lnkd.in/eB2tQnjm

⛰️ Building a network, sometimes… means is literally crossing mountains. Deploying dark fibre isn't just about connecting two points. 👉 It means: • digging • navigating bypassing around natural obstacles • securing routes across on complex terrains •  Manage local and regulatory constraints   At Orange Wholesale, we have already: ✔️ built new additional routes ✔️ guaranteed ensured path diversity (even in constrained areas) 💡 Result: A robust, existing physical network that adapts to your data center needs in the age of AI while ensuring service continuity.
