- The Metro Network makes connectivity available at every major building in Tanzania’s population centers.

The new Metro Network provided by Six Telecoms Data Networks - is a comprehensive data network that allows for Internet connectivity from every major building in the cities of Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Moshi, Mwanza, Shinyanga, Dodoma, Morogoro, Iringa, Mbeya, and Mtwara.  

The Metro network is revolutionizing the way that corporates can communicate via Internet and data throughout Tanzania and maximize on their IT investment.

The new Metro Network was designed and built from the ground up with corporates in mind.  It was built to Tier-1 carrier grade redundancy specifications, what this means is that Six Telecoms Data Networks built the Metro Network for companies that cannot afford to lose connectivity ever! Connections to customer premises are provided via digital Fiber Optic Cable and have a redundant licensed microwave link to ensure uptime, this includes global internet access via all three submarine cables (Seacom, Teams, and EASSY) for always on connectivity in case of catastrophic cable cuts or interruptions ensuring Metro clients are “always up.”

Additionally, the Metro Network delivers the perfect product mix to properly provide clients the specific level of connectivity they need; beyond Fiber Optic connectivity, Metro offers licensed microwave as well as WiMaxx (WiFi) coverage as well.  This means that whatever a company’s specific data needs and budget might be, Metro has the solution all delivered over a world-class secure and dedicated private data network.
 

The Metro Network is set to have a big impact on Tanzania and the economy as it offers corporates, ISPs and other users a resilient, self-healing connectivity to the Internet, ERPs and other applications that they may use, allowing them to run without the worry of time outs and disconnections. This will inevitably result in an increase of overall output and also enable corporates to conduct their business on a worldwide scale with ease.

“As companies grow and expand in Tanzania it is important that they have a dedicated network that will allow for them to connect all of their branches in a redundant and secure manner that is robust and cost effective” said Nick Odero, CEO of Six Telecoms Data Networks.  “A perfect Metro Network client would be banks, chain stores, medical clinics and hospitals, or any other entity that has locations throughout the country” added Odero. “Metro is aligned to act as a business development partner for our clients as reliable and secure networks are a vital component to growth within East Africa.”

Since the launch of the Metro Network on the 4th May 2012, Six Telecoms Data Networks have been inundated with enquiries regarding the service, have received well over 300 requests for the Metro Network and are currently carrying out site surveys in Dar es Salaam, Morogoro, Shinyanga, Lindi, Mwanza and Mtwara.
