Why networks connect in Accra
Six subsea cable systems
Six international subsea cable systems land in Ghana, giving Accra direct reach to Europe, the Americas and the rest of Africa.
Keep local traffic local
Traffic between Ghanaian and West African networks stays in the region, reducing reliance on distant exchange points and improving performance for local users.
Fully redundant multi-site fabric
Networks at any of the three sites meet through a single cross connect, with redundancy built into the fabric rather than bolted on.
Data sovereignty
Keeping Ghanaian traffic on Ghanaian infrastructure supports local businesses and gives networks more control over where their data travels.
