"To deliver on our African growth , we will continue to invest in infrastructure assets through owned build-outs, as well as acquisitive investments, as appropriate for each market," says Sunker.

IS's geographic footprint for multi-protocol label switching services includes POPs in Angola, Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Mauritius, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Lesotho and Swaziland.

According to the company, its presence in a further 14 other countries provides services using network-to-network interfaces and partners.
