Rain Communications and Agile Solutions Provider are pleased to announce a strategic wholesale telecommunications partnership that expands seamless layer 2 and layer 3 connectivity between Kenya and South Africa.
This partnership marks a significant milestone in advancing regional interconnectivity, providing enterprises and internet service providers with reliable, high-performance network solutions that bridge two of Africa’s most dynamic digital markets.
Speaking on the partnership, Alex Nyagah, Managing Director at Rain Communications, noted that this collaboration represents an important step in Rain’s broader mission to deliver borderless connectivity across the continent.
“This partnership strengthens Rain’s vision to deliver high-capacity, pan-African network solutions. Together with Agile Solutions, we are enabling enterprises and ISPs to experience consistent performance and reliability from Kenya to South Africa,” he said.
Through this collaboration, customers can now deploy high-capacity point-to-point circuits and IP transit services that directly link Kenya’s major data centres with South Africa’s extensive carrier-neutral facilities. The partnership offers enhanced scalability, performance and resilience for businesses seeking to grow their cross-border operations and digital infrastructure.
