Liquid Intelligent Technologies recognises Africa’s potential and connects it to the global economy.
We believe every individual on the African continent has the right to be connected. This is the vision that has been driving our network expansion across Africa over the last ten years.
For the first time, carriers can cross Africa with three different terrestrial routes
Northern Corridor
Central Corridor
Southern Corridor
The ‘One Digital Africa Network’ extends across the Saharan region in Sudan, Chad and Cameroon, complementing the routes further South on the Liquid network. This is in line with the vision of Cassava Technologies’ Founder and Executive Chairman Strive Masiyiwa to connect West African countries and go right back round to Egypt.
The North Route crosses the Continent with a direct path between the Red Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, giving access to West Africa (including Nigeria) and further to South America and the USA. This is an important route for redundancy as it ensures continuous flow of traffic even if there is a cable break further North.
The two central corridors offer a fully diversified route linking the Indian Ocean cables to the Atlantic Ocean taking the shortest path. Our customers can connect via Mombasa or Dar Es Salaam on the East coast and via Muanda or Luanda on the West coast.
Our upgraded regional and national backhaul networks ensure greater service levels for DIA, IPLC and IP Transit services within the region.We offer supplier redundancy as we have access to multiple Data Centres and multiple Cable Landing Stations.
The southern corridor is the most cost-effective route linking the Indian Ocean cables to the Atlantic Ocean. Our customers can access all landing stations on both sides of the continent in South Africa. Our upgraded regional and national backhaul networks ensure greater service levels for DIA, IPLC and IP Transit services within the region.
Twice in 2020, numerous organisations in Southern Africa experienced downtime in their internet connectivity, due to the break in the WACS cable system. At Liquid, customers enjoy protected connection end-to-end, ensuring that our customers were unimpacted.
Northern Corridor
The “One Africa” network now extends across the Saharan region in Sudan, Chad and Cameroon, complementing the routes further South on the Liquid Intelligent Technologies network. This is in line with the vision of Econet’s Founder and Executive Chairman Strive Masiyiwa to connect West African countries and go right back round to Egypt.
The North Route crosses the Continent with a direct path between the Red Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, giving access to West Africa (including Nigeria) and further to South America and the USA. This is an important route for redundancy to protect traffic against cable breaks further North.
