This network-to-network interface (NNI) allows BringCom to offer seamless Layer 2 and Layer 3 MPLS services to its government and corporate customers into Ethiopia, said the company.
“We are pleased to have a new NNI in Ethiopia, thanks to the invitation of our partner Ethio Telecom,” said Fabrice Langreney, president and CEO at BringCom. “This new service is the latest addition to our African network and allows us to transmit our customers’ international traffic from Ethiopia via Djibouti to anywhere in the world.”
The move comes weeks before the expected introduction of competition into the Ethiopian market, which is likely to see the licensing of two new operators to compete with Ethio Telecom from February 2021.
BringCom said the new partnership gives it another opportunity to add to and enhance its existing pan-African MPLS network.
This latest NNI is part of BringCom’s growth strategy in east Africa to add connectivity routes and provide innovative services such as SD-WAN and edge cloud services.
BringCom said its enterprise SD-WAN services will lower costs, increase business agility and improve multi-cloud applications performance.
The company said its edge cloud service platform supports digital infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) for virtual data centre, and virtual machine (compute) requirements in east Africa.
BringCom has built pan-African Ethernet and MPLS networks with points of presence in Sterling, Virginia as well as London, Djibouti, Nairobi, Kampala and Lagos.
Two years ago BringCom completed its acquisition of Ugandan ISP Datanet.
