It
was a mesmerizing moment for Liquid Telecom as it was acknowledged in
the Best Pan African Initiative group for ramping up the East Africa
Fibre Ring which associates Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania and back
into Kenya - the first fully redundant regional fibre ring, linking
these countries to each other and the rest of the world.
The
ring safeguards that people and businesses across the East African
community now take delivery of permanency of Internet connectivity and
an extremely trustworthy service.
Liquid
Telecom's shared MPLS satellite service was entitled as the VSAT
Innovation for Africa. Conventionally endusers needing MPLS satellite
services in Africa have had to buy a devoted channel on a satellite
link.
Liquid
Telecom's R & D team established a method to split an MPLS channel
so that it could service hundreds of customers at the same time,
furnishing a quality service with 99.5 per cent availability, at a
heavily reduced price. Customers comprise enterprises of all sizes that
need a dependable and secure satellite connection.
Nic
Rudnick, CEO, Liquid Telecom, said: "I am extremely proud of our team
who continue to work hard to create Africa's digital future. We are an
agile and entrepreneurial company which believes that everyone has a
right to be connected. We will continue to innovate and set the standard
for the African telecoms market."
During
the annual AfricaCom conference and exhibition, Liquid Telecom revealed
its evolution in laying Fibre To The Home over which it is rendering
homes and small businesses with unlimited data packages and 100Mbps, the
fastest broadband ever accessible in Africa. The service has by now
gone live in Zambia through various retail outlets; and in Zimbabwe via
retail ISP ZOL Zimbabwe, part of the Liquid Telecom Group. Plans are now
underway to launch FTTH on a wholesale and retail basis in Kenya,
Rwanda and two further countries early next year.
