Orange to improve Internet connectivity in West Africa through launch of first very large-capacity IP Point of Presence

The Abidjan IP PoP will facilitate the expansion of the African IP Market

ABIDJAN, Côte d’Ivoire, July 16, 2014/ -- Orange (http://www.orange.com) has opened today West Africa’s first very large-capacity IP Point of Presence (PoP). The operational launch of this facility, which is located in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, is set to enhance Internet connectivity in the sub-region by offering faster connection speeds and improved reliability for wholesale customers. An IP Point of Presence is part of the technical infrastructure equipment necessary to enable local networks to access the Internet through an interconnection point with long-distance carrier networks.

investing to guarantee congestion-free service and increased reliability

Abidjan also hosts a landing point for the ACE submarine cable, a 17,000km-long cable which runs down the west coast of Africa from Europe. This makes it an ideal location for the IP PoP facility and allows for optimal connectivity with networks across the entire region.

As a fully redundant IP PoP, this new facility opens up the region and allows Orange to offer high quality, secure connections over the wholesale market to West African countries. Over the medium and long term, the Abidjan IP PoP will facilitate the expansion of the African IP Market, which is an area of rapidly growing economic activity that sees Internet traffic rising at a rate of 41% per year (Telegeography 2013).

By connecting to this very large-capacity PoP, wholesale customers, regional operators and Internet Service Providers will benefit from cost-effective connections to a Tier 1 operator. Additionally, the customer experience will be improved due to this connection point which will bring content providers closer to Internet users.

a continued effort to extend connectivity

Orange is a major Internet connectivity enabler and already has a strong position in Africa, where capacity is constantly increasing. Orange’s objective is to adapt to changes in the industry and become the leading operator in the Internet era.

MAKUBWA:ETI MCHUNGAJI MTIKILIA AMEMSHTAKI ASKOFU VALENTINO MOKIWA KWA KUMSHIKA MAKALIO

Mchungaji Christopher Mtikila amefungua kesi kumshitaki Askofu Dk. Valentino Mokiwa wa Anglican.

Msingi wa kesi ni kwamba Askofu Mokiwa alimshika makalio Mtikila na kwamba kitendo hicho kilichotokea Juni 25 mwaka jana walipokutana maeneo ya Ilala, kimemdhalilisha.

Mtikila alikuwa ameitwa na Askofu kujadili tamko la la Mtikila kwamba Kanisa la Anglican linajihusisha na ufisadi, ukiwemo ufisadi wa au wizi wa vifaa vya Hospitali ya Mission ya Millo iliyoko Ludewa mkoani Iringa.

Mtikila alivyoitwa na Askofu kujadili hilo alifika na wenzake watatu wa taasisi ya Liberty International Foundation na wakakaribishwa kwenye moja ya jengo la dayosisi ya St. Nocholas, usiku wa saa 03:00.

Muda mfupi baada ya kikao kuanza, Askofu Mokiwa ambaye alikuwa na wenzake saba, alisimama na kuwataka wajumbe wote wakaguliwe kama kuna mtu ana kinasa sauti, kazi ambayo aliifanya yeye baada ya kufunga mlango.

Katika upekuzi huo ndipo tuhuma hizo zilipopatikana kutokana na madai kwamba operesheni hiyo ilienda mbali zaidi ya lengo la kawaida.

"Mlalamikiwa alitangaza kuwa, kila mtu aliyekuwemo kwenye mkutano lazima apekuliwe na kwamba atakayekataa angetumia nguvu, kwa kuwa alikuwa na bastola, hakuna aliyebisha.

Alianza kupenyeza mikono yake kwenye shingo kuelekea chini kisha huko chini mikono ya mlalamikiwa ilionekana waziwazi ikipepesa sehemu za siri za mlalamikaji".

Mchungaji Mtikila ameiomba Mahakama imwamuru Askofu Mokiwa alipe fidia ya shs. bilioni moja kwa kumdhalilisha. Madhara zaidi ya kitendo hicho ni pamoja na mfadhaiko, masikitiko, wasiwasi, aibu katika jamii na kupata shinikizao la damu la mara kwa mara na matatizo ya moyo

Kesi inataarifiwa kuwa kwenye Mahakama ya Kisutu, chini ya Hakimu Mchome
