TelCables South Africa goes live in Durban

TelCables South Africa, a subsidiary of Angola Cables, has opened a new Point of Presence at the Teraco Riverhorse facility in Durban.

Angola Cables is a leading global ICT solutions provider and Africa’s most interconnected operator.

The new Durban point of presence will strengthen and support East-to-West connectivity in South Africa and the rest of the continent.

It will serve as a vital gateway for ISPs, fibre network operators, and content delivery networks requiring reliable, low-latency connections.

This gateway aims to deliver internet services and content to businesses and industries across the East Coast of Africa and South Africa.

The high-speed data exchange platform also links to other subsea cable systems and redundancy options on 2Africa, Peace, Metiss and Seacom networks.

TelCables South East Africa CEO Sudhir Juggernath said the new Durban PoP will cater to the growing demand for ‘as a service’ solutions and boost digital infrastructure in the region.

“Businesses will have access to TelCables’ international Tier 1 IP and IPX Network and the option to connect to more than 66 global data centres,” he said.

These networks are supported by low-latency routing options to West Africa, South America, the USA, the UK, Europe, and Asia.

“The PoP also gives users the option to peer locally and take advantage of a range of integrated solutions,” he said.

These solutions include IP transit, direct internet access, global data center interconnect (GDI), cloud services, and other applications.

“Our Durban PoP will empower the development of new networks and digital ecosystems across the East Coast of Africa and South Africa,” he said.

“It will help facilitate the participation of more local ISPs and businesses in the global digital economy.”
