WIOCC has partnered with iColo to accelerate the growth of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Kenya. This collaboration aims to enhance digital infrastructure, improve interconnectivity, and unlock new market opportunities for ISPs, ultimately contributing to Kenya’s rapidly expanding digital economy.
WIOCC has successfully deployed the Mombasa Kenya Metro Network, which connects major datacentres and submarine cable landing stations. This infrastructure has been integrated with iColo’s carrier-neutral datacentres, creating an advanced peering ecosystem that offers ISPs low-latency, high-performance connectivity solutions.
James Wekesa, Chief Commercial Officer at WIOCC Group, said that the collaboration with iColo is a game-changer for Kenya’s ISP community. He emphasized that through the high-capacity metro network and peering solutions, WIOCC is providing ISPs with the scalability, reliability, and efficiency needed to meet the evolving demands of Kenyan businesses and consumers.
The alliance directly addresses a significant challenge for ISPs: the need to expand network reach while maintaining cost efficiency. By leveraging WIOCC’s carrier-grade metro and national network infrastructure, ISPs can extend their services beyond Mombasa, reaching new regional and national markets.
iColo’s datacentre campuses in Nairobi and Mombasa offer infrastructure that grants ISPs access to high-capacity subsea cable systems, content delivery networks, and cloud service providers. The companies anticipate that their partnership will fulfil Kenya’s growing need for a high-performance, scalable ecosystem, facilitating the rollout of cloud services, content delivery, and high-speed internet.
“With increased digital adoption across Kenya, businesses require network solutions that are both reliable and scalable,” said Wekesa.
