Enterprise Connectivity in Senegal. The Heart of West African Networks.

Dakar isn't just Senegal's capital. It's where West Africa's connectivity infrastructure is managed—the Djoliba backbone operations centre, Sonatel Group's regional headquarters, multiple submarine cable landings.

Delivery experience

A professional services firm needed connectivity across 7 West African countries. Their starting point? Senegal—and then Morocco, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Guinea Bissau.

Their existing aggregator quoted identical pricing from three 'different' providers. All three were reselling the same underlying carrier.

We went direct. Sonatel where they had the best infrastructure. Local carriers where they offered better value.

The result:

  • 8 circuits across 7 countries
  • Deployment completed in under 60 days
  • Single point of contact for the entire project
