Workonline Communications expands into Kenya

South African wholesale network service provider Workonline Communications has expanded its East African presence by making its IP transit services available in Nairobi. Head of business development Benjamin Deveaux said the expansion was in response to the region's growing demand for better connectivity services and the company's commitment to the development of Africa's ICT sector. 

Deveaux outlines that Kenya’s regional leadership in the telecommunications sector, the regulatory environment, as well as its existing and future infrastructure, positions the country extremely attractively to investors and international content providers, and is highly promising in terms of ICT development and growth. 

The company claims to provide scalable, good quality and flexible service options to meet the needs of carriers, internet service providers, content providers and mobile operators. Workonline Communications also provides training to the local community where necessary, promoting IPv6 development, and assisting to lower the operating costs of ISPs in the region.
