Africa’s Research and Education Networks achieve historic Lagos-Cape Town Interconnection
Enabled by WACREN, SANReN, and TENET, the link creates the first-ever inter-RREN connection on African soil.
The African research and education landscape has taken a historic leap forward. WACREN (the West and Central African Research and Education Network) is now directly interconnected with the Eastern and Southern African research and education community at the ZAOXI Global Exchange Point (GXP) in Cape Town, through SANReN (the South African Research and Education Network) and TENET (the Tertiary Education and Research Network of South Africa).
