Liquid Telecom Group has expanded its fibre link to East Africa resulting in it becoming the first wholesale carrier to connect the East African capitals of Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Kampala and Kigali on a single fibre network.

Liquid Telecom Kenya recently built a fibre link from Nairobi to Namanga on the border of Kenya and Tanzania which has the capacity of multiple STM 64s with traffic terminating in Tanzania that now passes onto TTCL's fibre network providing Liquid Telecom's customers fixed and mobile operators, wholesale carriers and enterprises with reliable, robust and fast connectivity throughout Tanzania.

Liquid Telecom Group yesterday announced that it has signed a partnership agreement with Tanzania Telecommunications Company Ltd (TTCL) to interconnect with its fibre network in Tanzania.

"We continue to expand and invest heavily in our fibre network to provide our customers with secure and reliable routes across Central, Eastern and Southern Africa," said Liquid chief executive Mr Nic Rudnick.

Traffic into and out of Tanzania will now interconnect with Liquid's existing networks in the neighbouring countries of Kenya, Rwanda, DRC and Zambia as well as the other countries in which Liquid is operational such as Botswana, DRC, Lesotho, South Africa, Uganda and Zimbabwe.
