Djibouti Telecom, East Africa\u2019s leading telecom operator, has announced that it has joined its IP network with Hurricane Electric, the world’s largest IPv6-native Internet backbone. The connection was made at two key global Internet Points of Presence (POPs) located in Singapore at Equinix and Global Switch facilities, which have a direct path to the Djbouti Telecom\u2019s data centre.<\/p>\n
With this new IP Transit agreement, networks and Internet service providers will have the opportunity to access Hurricane Electric’s robust global network, which is connected to over 155 major exchange points and exchanges traffic directly with more than 6,000 different networks. As a result, both new and existing customers will be able to experience increased throughput, reduced latency and improved reliability. Additionally, clients will also enjoy improved fault tolerance, load balancing and congestion management infrastructure capabilities in the delivery of next-generation IP services.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe massive data growth projections for East Africa have prompted the rethink of the industry\u2019s business model, with Djibouti Telecom focused on ensuring that Internet traffic is transported and managed across a reliable, diverse and secure network,\u201d said Mohamed Assoweh Bouh, Director General of Djibouti Telecom. \u201cThat is why partnering with Hurricane Electric is a key element to our strategy in providing greater value and a better Internet experience to our partners and the whole value chain.\u201d<\/p>\n
