Where to connect in Africa
Ghana and West Africa
A neutral exchange accessible from Onix, PAIX and Digital Realty in Accra. Six international subsea cable systems land in Ghana, making it a natural hub for West African traffic.
Kenya and East Africa
The internet exchange for Kenya, connecting networks at iXAfrica, Africa Data Centres, PAIX and Digital Realty across Nairobi. Not connected back to London, so East African traffic stays in the region.
The coastal gateway
At Digital Realty MBA1 and MBA2 on the Kenyan coast, where international subsea cables land. Independent of both LINX Nairobi and LINX London, so coastal and regional traffic stays local.
Why networks connect in Africa
Keep regional traffic regional
None of the three exchanges is connected back to London. Traffic between African networks stays in Africa, for lower latency and better performance for local users.
Where the cables land
Subsea cable systems land in Ghana, and Mombasa sits at a major East African landing point. Direct access to the infrastructure connecting the continent to the rest of the world.
One membership, every location
