Seacom has launched new high-capacity terrestrial network route between Nairobi and Kampala, upgrading a long-established corridor into a modern, high-capacity backbone designed to support growing demand for data across East Africa.
The new route connects key infrastructure hubs in Nairobi, Kisumu and Kampala, creating a more resilient and scalable pathway for traffic moving inland from subsea cable landing stations in Mombasa.
The new route forms part of Seacom’s broader investment in East Africa’s digital infrastructure.
“We are strengthening a route that already plays a central role in regional connectivity. We are ensuring that this segment is served by a high-capacity, carrier-grade network that can support the scale and performance today’s digital economy requires,” says Seacom chief technology officer David Kariuki.
“We upgraded our IP network in Uganda last year, and this route builds on that foundation by improving both capacity and quality across a key corridor.”
