Africa Data Centres announced on Monday it has signed a deal with South African fibre optic cable infrastructure provider Oni-Tel Fibre Networks to strengthen interconnectivity across its facilities in Gauteng province.

Under the agreement, Oni-Tel will deliver high-speed, low-latency connectivity to Africa Data Centres’ Midrand and Samrand campuses via its Infinity fibre interconnection platform.

Africa Data Centres said Oni-Tel’s dark fibre infrastructure is purpose-built for data centre interconnectivity on a resilient network, providing direct access to Gauteng’s key data centre hubs.

Africa Data Centres CEO Adil El Youssefi said its collaboration with Oni-Tel will strengthens its service portfolio by enhancing performance and expanding connectivity options within its facilities, giving customers more interconnection choice, high availability, seamless bandwidth and the ability to scale efficiently as their infrastructure requirements grow.

“As enterprises accelerate cloud adoption, AI deployment, and data-intensive workloads, they need dependable, scalable connectivity within trusted local data centres,” he said in a statement. “By partnering with Oni-Tel, we’re giving our customers access to enhanced fibre infrastructure that supports their growth and innovation, while maintaining secure, enterprise-grade environments for businesses navigating South Africa’s digital economy.”

Oni-Tel chief commercial officer Ellisha Gobind said its partnership with Africa Data Centres enables the company to deliver its fibre interconnection solution into some of the most strategically important data centre hubs in Gauteng.

“Through Infinity, customers benefit from ultra-low latency connectivity, scalable capacity, and secure, carrier-grade infrastructure designed to keep their businesses ahead in an extremely competitive digital landscape,” Gobind said.
