Tata Comm has partnered with Infinity Africa with the goal of opening up a new Tier 1 PoP in Tanzania.
While Tata has been providing internet and voice services in Tanzania for over 10 years through now-subsidiary Teleglobe, the new PoP in Dar-es-Salaam will allow it to offer tier 1 IP services in the African nation, it said.
The PoP has been configured to automatically offer redundant paths for all traffic heading through Europe and South Africa.
Tata launched a PoP in Kenya six months ago, indicating the company has bold moves for Africa.
“Tata in East Africa provides a resilient and diverse backbone with connectivity between Kenya and Tanzania to South Africa,” Tata Comm managing director Claude Sassoulas said.
