Oni-Tel Fibre Networks has launched its Inter-Data Centre Fibre Network, with Digital Parks Africa (DPA) serving as the inaugural point of presence (PoP).
The high-speed fibre backbone connects all major data centres across Gauteng, enabling seamless, low-latency connectivity between facilities and unlocking new possibilities for enterprise and cloud infrastructure.
Oni-Tel is set to become the first provider in this space to introduce new infrastructure access models through a purpose-built network engineered for data centre interconnectivity (DCI) and external connections, including Carrier Points of Presence (POP), Carrier Hotels, and Campus Cross-Connects.
Oni-Tel CEO Andre Pillay says: “We are focused on resilient architectures, future-proof infrastructure, and intelligent monitoring platforms that transform how we manage and secure critical assets. We see a growing technical need for stability, scalability and speed, and that is why we are investing in robust infrastructure.
“To date, we have laid over 70km of fibre, purpose-built for high-speed and low-latency, ready for future demands of digital connectivity. With a proactive approach, our core network is pre-provisioned to enable time-critical requirements to be met seamlessly and on schedule.”
Eckart Zollner, head of business development at DPA, says customers are already operating on the network via the data centre.
