AFR-IX telecom connects its global network to the Internet Exchange Point of Nigeria

April 24, 2020
1 min read
Author: Editorial Team

This new connection comes after the one deployed in 2020 in Ashburn at Equinix IX.

The IXPN provides a platform that allows several Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and network operators in Nigeria to exchange traffic between their networks by means of peering agreements based of transparency and confidentiality.
Connecting to IXPN reduces internet transport costs and network latency and it ensures faster access to local content as traffic is exchanged locally. An added value of an Internet exchange is in encouraging a maximum number of local ISPs to connect across the IXPN peering points.

With this new peering, AFR-IX telecom customers now have access to direct local connectivity to ISPs, content and application providers to support the uptake of social media, e-commerce, online music, games and videos, etc. in Nigeria. It also improves latency times and reliability for all our customers.

Miguel Angel Acero, AFR-IX telecom VPO
