Ghana IXP goes into operation
Ghana Internet Exchange Point (IXP) is now up and running
after a long wait. From the Kofi Annan Centre where it is
already in operation, the IXP has its initial four ISPs
connected. They are Ecoband, K-Net, Busy Internet and
Teledata. A 60-metre mast to create wireless connections
to potential members is to be installed soon.
As a temporary measure, Ecoband has installed facilities
to allow itself and two other providers co-operating on
their wi-fi networks to get connected. Other ISPs:
Internet Ghana, Netplux, IDN and Third Rail are expcted to
hook up to the IXP as Ghana seeks to make local Internet
traffic local and reduce the financial cost on consumption
of international bandwidth.
