In this episode of Pure Digital Passion, I spoke with Nurani Nimpuno, Head of Global Engagement at LINX (London Internet Exchange), during the launch of LINX Mombasa at Bahari Beach Hotel on February 13, 2025. This conversation explores why LINX chose Mombasa as its next expansion after Nairobi, and what this means for peering, interconnection, and digital infrastructure in Kenya and East Africa. Key topics we discuss include: • Why Mombasa is a critical coastal hub for digital connectivity • The role of LINX Mombasa at iColo MBA1 & MBA2 in improving local and regional traffic exchange • How LINX is keeping local traffic local to reduce latency and lower costs • Plans to connect LINX Mombasa with LINX Nairobi for seamless interconnection • The future of peering in East Africa and how businesses beyond ISPs can benefit Following the launch, we also toured iColo MBA2, one of Kenya’s most advanced data centers, where we saw firsthand the security, operational precision, and interconnection capabilities that support the region’s growing digital economy. This episode provides valuable insights into how LINX is shaping Kenya's and Africa’s internet future by enabling faster, more cost-effective, and scalable digital infrastructure. Listen now to understand how LINX Mombasa is helping grow Kenya’s and Africa's digital transformation!
