A Internet plays a critical role in today's society and the COVID-19 pandemic has further underscored the importance of reliable Internet connectivity for everyone. Unfortunately, not all countries have a reliable Internet infrastructure. Low-income countries often have underprovisioned networks and lack robust cable infrastructure and redundant interconnection systems. In these countries or regions, the likelihood of Internet outages is much higher than elsewhere.
A resilient Internet connection is one that maintains an acceptable level of service in the face of failures and challenges to normal operation. In this Pulse focus area, we track resiliency metrics using the Internet Resilience Index to help support policy and infrastructure development to improve Internet resilience at local, regional and global levels.
How is Internet resiliency measured?
Internet Society Pulse's overall measure of Internet resiliency is based on the following pillars:
BUT: Internet accessibility gap widens in Africa
What is the measuring stick of Internet resilience in Angola?
According to data from the Internet Society Pulse, the situation in our country is as follows:
When looking at these data, it is clearly noted that in the four aspects that are monitored by this organization, none of them Angola reaches 50%, this shows once again that much still needs to improve in our country, in terms of infrastructure, performance, security and market readiness
