FibreCo opens hosting facility in the Western Cape

 ·10 May 2017

Fibre network company, FibreCo has announced the opening of its hosting facility in Yzerfontein, in the Western Cape.

“Located directly opposite the WACS landing station, FibreCo has overcome current Cable Landing Station (CLS) hosting challenges and provides clients with open access hosting and co-location facilities, connecting directly into the undersea cable landing station”, said Marius Mostert, FibreCo’s chief technical officer.

“Clients now have the flexibility to manage their own routing protection and enable end customer network interfaces directly from the CLS. In addition, the hosting facility is an aggregation point for the developing surrounding areas of Yzerfontein,” Mostert said.

Spanning over 4,000 km, FibreCo’s network consists of underground fibre routes, high speed optical equipment and carrier-grade equipment hosting facilities interconnecting over 52 points of presence country-wide including major data centres in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Bloemfontein, Durban, Port Elizabeth and East London.

FibreCo provides optimal network operations and maintenance functionality underpinned by a carrier grade network infrastructure and service assurance framework.
