Liquid launches new Asia-US global Internet transit route through Africa
Pan-African technology group Liquid Intelligent Technologies has launched its shortest terrestrial fibre route from the east to the west coasts of Africa, connecting Mombasa, in Kenya, to Muanda, in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The completion of this route establishes a new global Internet transit route between Asia and the US through Africa, avoiding high-risk bottlenecks in the Middle East and Europe.
The digital corridor, which passes through 847 cities, towns and villages, impacting more than 138-million people, is a direct route between South-East Asia and the Americas, and addresses demand in landlocked countries in Africa as more businesses expand their operations within and beyond African borders.
“The current need for reliable connectivity between Asia and the US is booming. Adding this corridor to our network will help organisations avoid the Red Sea and Europe routes as they have become bottlenecks for global Internet traffic,” said Liquid Intelligent Technologies International Wholesale CEO David Eurin.
"In addition to available capacities between 1 Mb/s to 100 Gb/s, Liquid will provide its customers access to all digital services in its stable, including data centre co-location, cloud and cybersecurity services.”
“These services are the foundations for digital growth and innovation across the region. For international customers, the corridor offers a low latency path to connect Asia, Africa and the US as an alternative to busier routes through the Middle East and Europe,” he said, adding that introduction of this route will allow global carriers and content providers to transmit through Africa to other global points of presence at the lowest possible latencies.
