WIOCC has announced its latest partnership with iColo to accelerate the growth of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Mombasa and across Kenya. This collaboration seeks to enhance digital infrastructure, improve interconnectivity and unlock new market opportunities for ISPs.
“The collaboration with iColo is a game-changer for Kenya’s ISP community,” said James Wekesa, Chief Commercial Officer at WIOCC Group. “Through our high-capacity metro network and peering solutions, we are providing ISPs with the scalability, reliability and efficiency needed to serve the evolving needs of Kenyan businesses and consumers.”
WIOCC has successfully deployed the Mombasa Metro Network, interconnecting major data centres and submarine cable landing stations. This infrastructure now integrates seamlessly with iColo’s carrier-neutral data centres, fostering an advanced peering ecosystem that will provide ISPs with low-latency, high-performance connectivity solutions.
iColo’s data centre campuses in Nairobi & Mombasa deliver key infrastructure that provides ISPs with access to high-capacity subsea cable systems, Content Delivery Networks (CDN) and Cloud Service Providers (CSPs). This carrier-neutral data centre platform creates a robust connected community for seamless connectivity in Kenya and the entire East African region.
Kenya’s growing demand for cloud services, content delivery and high-speed internet requires an ecosystem that supports high-performance, scalable solutions. The WIOCC-iColo collaboration is a bold step toward fulfilling this need by:
- Optimising ISP interconnectivity to improve performance and reduce operational costs.
- Providing a robust infrastructure that supports content delivery networks, cloud operators and enterprise clients.
- Enhancing redundancy and resilience, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity even in the face of network disruptions.
“With increased digital adoption across Kenya, businesses need network solutions that are highly reliable and scalable. Through our continued investments and partnerships, WIOCC remains committed to driving digital transformation and economic growth in the country,” added Wekesa.
