Data centre locations
Two data centre locations across Mombasa
Accessible across two Digital Realty facilities, MBA1 and MBA2. Connect at either site and reach every other network on the exchange, with the first cross connect at no charge.
Why networks connect in Mombasa
Subsea cable landing point
Positioned at a major international subsea cable landing point, with direct access to the undersea infrastructure connecting East Africa to the rest of the world.
Digital gateway for East Africa
A coastal position that serves not just Kenya but Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and landlocked countries including South Sudan.
Keep local traffic local
Not connected back to LINX Nairobi or LINX London, so traffic between local networks stays in the region for efficient, low-latency interconnection.
100GE ready from day one
Built with 100GE capability from launch, so members can scale their connectivity as demand across the region grows.
Available at LINX Mombasa
Connect directly with hundreds of networks to exchange traffic. Direct interconnection lowers latency, gives you greater control over how traffic flows, and makes it simple to expand as demand grows.
Separate and manage multiple network connections over a single physical port, keeping private traffic isolated within LINX infrastructure while simplifying how you manage it.
A private Layer 2 network connecting multiple sites, partners or customers, for controlled traffic exchange within LINX infrastructure.
LINX Protect is free to all members peering via our route servers. It identifies malicious traffic during an attack and drops it before it reaches your infrastructure, using Remotely Triggered Black Hole filtering.
Start your application in the member portal, or send us a message and the team will be in touch.
