Infrastructure and Community Development Partnerships
Building resilient infrastructure and fostering collaborative communities requires support from partners.
We are honored to have invaluable partnership with:
The Internet Society and Facebook collaborate in promoting IXP infrastructure development, training and community engagement with the objective of increasing the number of IXPs and supporting the expansion of existing IXPs to meet the growing demand in Africa.
IXP Manager is an open-source tool used by more than 130 IXPs globally.
IXP Manager has been a great partner of the Internet Society for over four years. In 2020 we support IXP Manager as a platinum patron, and we continue to strengthen our partnership to support development of IXPs.
We partner with Flexoptix to provide Optical transceivers and technical trainings to the Internet Exchange Points.
