Smartoptics has partnered with South African telecoms hardware specialist HardwareCo to supply Teraco, Africa’s largest vendor-neutral data centre platform, with redundant 100G DWDM links connecting its CT1 and CT2 facilities in Cape Town. The compact, license-free Smartoptics solution expands Teraco’s backbone capacity to meet surging 100G demand on one of South Africa’s fastest-growing bandwidth routes, while lowering space, power and operational complexity and allowing Teraco to manage the system in-house.
