West African Tier III carrier and cloud-neutral data centre Rack Centre says it has signed a strategic collocation agreement with network operator TelCables Nigeria, a subsidiary of Angola Cables.

Through this partnership TelCables Nigeria says it is deploying its high-capacity network and cloud infrastructure together with four international subsea cable systems (SACS, MONET, SEBRAS and EllaLink) directly into Rack Centre’s carrier ecosystem in the region.

The partners cite a number of highlights of this collaboration including that TelCables Nigeria is lighting diverse, redundant dark-fibre rings into Rack Centre, ensuring always-on performance, and that customers can consume scalable IaaS, PaaS and CDN services from within the data sovereign walls of Rack Centre, paying in naira.

They also mention direct on-ramps to AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, supporting hybrid and multi-cloud strategies alongside dedicated internet access, IP transit and remote internet exchange (IX) peering, along with low-latency routes to three continents, including the only direct Africa to Latin America path, plus the shortest-hop connections to Europe and the USA.

Rack Centre adds that its 13.5MW data centre campus designed with its recently launched LGS2 facility that delivers a design PUE of 1.35 and powered from sustainable energy sources, already hosts more than 70 carriers, ISPs and network operators and boasts features such as N+2 high-efficiency cooling, an integrated building management system and AI-ready high-density racks.

This move, the partners say, delivers the most resilient, low-latency southbound routes to Europe, the Americas and Latin America, mitigating the risk of future cable-cut outages along West Africa’s coast and powering next-generation cloud services across the continent.
