Overview

ZAMNET interfaces into Wananchi Telecoms, our upstream provider’s network, through a Gigabit Interface to their router housed at ZESCO’s Arcades Substation. The Substation is connected via an STM-1 fibre link up to Dar-es-Salaam where three routes to the Internet are available. The routes to the Internet are through EaSSY, SEACOM, and TEAMS on the East coast of Africa.

ZAMNET also maintains a link through CEC-Liquid Telecoms for backup and routes through South Africa on SAT-3 and SEACOM marine cables. This provides redundancy and low latency to networks in South Africa.
