Liquid C2 has achieved gold-level status in Google’s Verified Peering Provider (VPP) programme.
The accreditation places Liquid C2 among a select group of global network providers recognised for high-performance, reliable peering with Google. It also positions the company as the most widely peered gold VPP partner across Africa.
The enhanced peering infrastructure reduces reliance on congested public internet routes. This enables a more direct access to Google services and significantly improving performance.
This translates into faster load times, lower latency and more stable connectivity when using tools such as Google Workspace, Google Cloud and AI-driven workloads.
Liquid C2’s VPP qualification spans key global and African connectivity hubs, including Johannesburg, Lagos, Nairobi and London.
This distributed footprint creates a resilient, high-availability network layer that supports enterprises not only within Africa but also those connecting to global markets. It also strengthens redundancy and routing efficiency across multiple regions.
Commenting on the milestone, Vinay Hiralall, Chief Commercial Officer at Liquid C2, said the recognition reflects the company’s long-term infrastructure strategy.
“Securing Google’s VPP status represents a significant step forward in Liquid’s efforts to strengthen Africa’s digital infrastructure. In today’s cloud-first economy, network performance is a key driver of competitiveness. This recognition strengthens our ability to deliver consistent, low-latency access to Google services at scale, supporting enterprises across Africa as they expand into global digital markets.”
The achievement builds on Liquid C2’s broader collaboration with Google, including the launch of Africa’s first Google Cloud-powered Partner Experience Centre in Johannesburg, which aims to accelerate cloud adoption and skills development across the region.
