AFRICA •
INX
has packaged all the key infrastructures that an ISP needs. Its
close partnership with Teraco, the only independent telehousing
facility in SA, provides the important building block of independent
hosting.
Independent Telehousing and access to
NAPAfrica
Data centre access, provided by Teraco, offers the important
building block of independent hosting. All ISPs who relocate their
infrastructure to any of Teraco's facilities will have easy access
into the AFRICA INX
network for only a low cost port fee. Once connected into the
network, ISPs automatically gain access to all the wholesale
services. Teraco recently launched free access in its data centres
to its Network Exchange Point named NAPAfrica. NAPAfrica provides
for a carrier neutral Layer 2 Internet exchange point (IXP) in the
southern African region, providing high-capacity multimegabit links
(up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet) between the various global and local
network operators. AFRICAINX
provides access to NAPAfrica and any provider on NAPAfrica can also
access the AFRICAINX
free of port charges. This broadens access even more and opens the
market for lower cost NNIs.
Access to Metro Ethernet Fibre ring
All connected customers will get access to AFRICAINX
Metro Ethernet Fibre network. This will enable their retail clients
to connect into the fibre nodes, which are located in many of the
key business areas such as Rosebank, Sandton, Midrand and Isando, in
Gauteng and central Cape Town, Newlands / Rondebosch, Bellville and
many others to come.
ISP to ISP Peering
Although AFRICAINX
sells local IP Transit, it encourages its customers to peer directly
with each other and also to peer with others at JINX which is one of
the switch hubs on the AFRICAINX
fibre ring. CINX will also be included in future as the demand
grows.
Wholesale Voice Provisioning and Voice
Interconnect
AFRICAINX
is also party to a wholesale VoIP switch, Virtual VoIP Provider,
which is also hosted at Teraco and available on the fibre ring for
the use by any of the participating service providers who wish to
use it as their primary or secondary voice switch.
The switch offers:
-
Wholesale voice
minutes
-
A virtual PBX platform
for service provider who do not want to build their own
platforms
-
A platform to
facilitate number block hosting on for providers who have an ECS
licence and their own number blocks, but do not have the skills
to deploy the infrastructure
