MainOne: Delivering Digital Transformation in West Africa

This year, MainOne signed strategic partnership deals with Orange and TE Subcom, to extend our submarine cable into Dakar, Senegal and Abidjan – Cote D’Ivoire.

These projects will enable these West African countries with reliable connectivity services at lower costs. Neighbouring countries such as Burkina Faso, Mali and Mauritania will also benefit from this enhanced capacity.
In Ghana, we extend our reach with new points-of-presence (PoPs) in Takoradi’s Business District and Kumasi. These PoPs join the growing number of MainOne PoPs in several locations in Ghana such as the Central Business District; Accra; Tema; Cable Station at Nungua; Spintex Road; and Legon.

The reach is designed to assure our enterprise customers of more robust infrastructure to deliver best-in-class connectivity, enterprise voice, data center services, and value-added services.
In Nigeria, MainOne is partnering with the Ogun and Edo State Governments on their digital transformation plans to build fibre infrastructure across the state capitals. In November, we launched the carrier-neutral, West African Internet Exchange (WAF-IX) with global IXP platform provider, Asteroid out of the MDXi data center.
WAF-IX will facilitate improved interconnection and peering, allow customers connect to multiple networks, cloud and content providers, enable service providers operate more efficiently, deliver enhanced end-to-end network performance, and reduce overall IP Transit costs.

One of the world’s largest, cloud network platform, Cloud Flare is already peered with WAF-IX with major OTTS and content providers getting on-board.

By demonstrating “best-in-class” cloud service capabilities and supporting local businesses in their digital transformation journey, our Data Centre subsidiary MDXi, attained the Gold Data Centre certification from Microsoft and a re-certification from SAP.
This Gold Data Centre certification is the highest partnership level with Microsoft in Data Centre Competencies and is the pinnacle for Cloud Productivity in Microsoft’s Partner Network program. SAP’s re-certification endorses MDXi’s ability to deliver high-quality cloud and infrastructure operations services to its customers running SAP solutions. MDXi also obtained Tier III Constructed Facility Certification (TCCF) from Uptime Institute making it the most certified TIA942, PCI DSS and ISO 27001 Certified Data Center in West Africa.
With the on-going, nationwide network expansion in Nigeria and Ghana, as well as service delivery in 10 West African countries including Togo, Cameroun, Benin, Niger, and Chad, MainOne is making significant investments in infrastructural projects in West Africa as a push to ramp up technology penetration in the region and support the budding business ecosystem.
