Africa data centres took a step toward a single platform. Wingu Africa agreed to interconnect its East Africa hubs with Africa Data Centres’ footprint across the continent. Moreover, the firms say the alliance will deliver seamless paths for cloud, fintech and content traffic.

The agreement links Djibouti, Ethiopia and Tanzania into ADC’s wider network. Consequently, enterprises can extend workloads across regions without juggling multiple providers. In addition, both companies frame the tie-up as a capacity and resilience play that complements new subsea routes landing on the East African coast.

Why it matters: Interconnection reduces latency and transit costs. Therefore, banks, logistics firms and governments get faster, cheaper routes for payments, ERP and border systems. For hyperscalers, integrated facilities de-risk deployments by offering multiple markets behind one contract.

For Africa, the signal is clear. Neutral, peered facilities are now core infrastructure, like ports or rail. Consequently, countries with carrier-dense campuses will capture AI training runs, streaming caches and regional fintech traffic — and the tax that follows.

Next, investors will watch delivery. Operators must hold uptime SLAs, add on-ramps to major clouds, and publish clear repair windows. In practice, that is what turns press releases into usable capacity for enterprise CIOs across Africa data centres
