Data centre operator Raxio Group has partnered with connectivity provider AFR-IX to enhance digital infrastructure and internet performance in Angola and Mozambique. The collaboration aims to improve bandwidth availability, reduce latency, and support growing demand for cloud, data, and digital services in these key Southern African markets.
The partnership integrates AFR-IX’s network capabilities with Raxio’s carrier-neutral Tier III data centres, enabling better local peering, traffic management, and access to international connectivity. This is expected to lower costs for businesses and consumers while boosting reliability for sectors such as fintech, e-commerce, government services, and emerging AI applications.
Both Angola and Mozambique are experiencing rapid digital transformation, driven by increasing mobile penetration, subsea cable landings, and government digital agendas. Raxio’s facilities in these countries serve as critical hubs for colocation, cloud connectivity, and data sovereignty. By teaming with AFR-IX, the company can offer enhanced end-to-end solutions that keep more traffic local and reduce dependence on expensive international routes.
Raxio has been aggressively expanding its footprint across Africa, with operational data centres in multiple markets and plans for further growth. The addition of stronger connectivity partnerships like this one strengthens its position as a key enabler of the continent’s digital economy.
Improved digital connectivity is a foundational requirement for economic development. In Angola and Mozambique, sectors such as oil and gas, agriculture, banking, and public services stand to benefit from faster, more affordable data services. The partnership also supports broader goals around local content hosting, reduced latency for real-time applications, and resilience against international network disruptions.
For AFR-IX, the deal expands its reach in Southern Africa and aligns with its mission to deliver high-quality, scalable connectivity solutions. For Raxio, it enhances the value proposition of its data centres by providing customers with seamless access to diverse network options.
This collaboration reflects a maturing ecosystem where data centre operators and connectivity providers work together to address Africa’s infrastructure gaps. As demand for digital services accelerates, such partnerships will be critical to building robust, future-ready networks across the region.
The initiative is expected to deliver measurable improvements in internet performance and support the next wave of digital innovation in Angola and Mozambique.
