We are excited to announce our first reseller partner for both our LINX operated IXPs in Kenya - WaveX!

By reselling at both LINX Nairobi and LINX Mombasa, WaveX are effectively providing a route to each exchange for networks without a physical presence, but needing to pick up network traffic.

Patrick Mbogo, Interconnection Specialist for Africa at LINX, commented:
“We’re delighted to welcome WaveX as a reseller partner for LINX Nairobi and LINX Mombasa. Their reputation for delivering high-speed, reliable connectivity in Kenya makes them an ideal partner for supporting the continued growth of our East African exchanges. Together, we’ll help even more networks benefit from the performance and economic advantages of local peering.”

Cyrus Mbitao, CTO at WaveX, said:
“Joining LINX as a reseller partner represents an important milestone for WaveX. We remain focused on delivering high-quality internet experiences to our customers, and enabling access to LINX Nairobi and LINX Mombasa aligns directly with that objective. Through this partnership, we aim to extend world-class peering opportunities to networks across Kenya while contributing to the continued growth and resilience of the region’s digital ecosystem.”

During this period, support requests requiring network or system changes will be deferred until the end of the change freeze, with the exception of fault-fixing activities. This freeze also includes cabling work, which will be suspended, in some cases by the co-location facility operators themselves. Therefore, no adds, moves, or changes for member ports will be performed during this period.
