C&W was selected by Outremer Telecom following a competitive tender process, with cost savings being key.
The increased bandwidth offered by the network will enable it to carry higher volumes of voice and data traffic and support innovative new services, the two companies said. The network will also be the backbone for Outremer Telecom's international communications requirements.
Jean-Michel Hégésippe, head director of Outremer Telecom, said in a statement: "Cable & Wireless' bandwidth connect solution will allow us to significantly reduce our costs and to plan our future expansion in Réunion Island."
