Gateway expands presence in Southern Africa

"Gateway Communications offers local IP peering in most African countries, with a long-term strategy to continue to route data traffic more efficiently within Africa," says Phil Braden, chief operations officer, Gateway Communications. "We can now offer peering in Southern Africa joining Malawi, Mozambique, Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia."

Partnering with Teraco enables Gateway Communications to interconnect with more African carriers and ISPs, providing them with voice, data and value added services (VAS) at a more competitive price. Last month Gateway engaged with a number of South African ISPs requiring IP transit capacity, providing services from its Teraco Johannesburg and Cape Town PoPs (Points of Presence).
