IXPN boosts telecom network with data centres

The Internet Exchange Point of Nigeria (IXPN) has officially activated its Point of Presence (PoP) Open Access Data Centres (OADC) in Lagos State.

This makes it easier for telecom and internet service providers operating within the Lekki-Lagos site to interconnect, while new and existing customers will have additional options for connecting to IXPN, the Chief Executive Officer of IXPN, Mr Rudman Muhammed, disclosed in a statement on Tuesday.

Rudman said with the activation at the OADC facility, IXPN was now available at seven data centres, making it the only IXP accessible from all the major data centres operating in Lagos, noting that IXPN was equally available in Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano, Enugu and Gombe.
