Rain Communications Unlocks Tier 1 Global IP Transit for East Africa Through Cogent Partnership
East Africa’s internet landscape is set to receive a significant boost. Rain Communications Limited, a leading Kenyan internet infrastructure and service provider, has announced an expansion of its IP transit services, granting customers enhanced access to a Tier 1 global internet network. This improvement stems from a newly established direct upstream interconnection with Cogent Communications, one of the world’s most extensively interconnected IP networks.
Enhanced Connectivity and Global Reach
The direct connection to Cogent Communications allows Rain’s customers to tap into high-performance, ultra-low-latency global internet capacity. By leveraging Cogent’s extensive network, Rain’s clients in East Africa can now benefit from broader reach and improved resilience. The service will be provided locally, ensuring that clients in the region are supported within their own timezone. As explained by Barry Macharia, Rain’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO), the partnership allows Rain to bring global connectivity right to East Africa’s coast in Mombasa. This means smoother traffic flow into Cogent’s global backbone.
