The internet in Ghana just took a giant leap forward.
We’re proud to announce that LINX Accra, the new Internet Exchange Point (IXP) established by the London Internet Exchange, is now officially live, and Onix is one of its founding homes.
This milestone puts Ghana on the map as a serious interconnection hub for West Africa, giving local and regional networks the opportunity to exchange traffic directly, reliably, and efficiently, right here in Accra.
A New Era of Local Connectivity
At the heart of LINX Accra is a simple but powerful idea: networks in Ghana should not have to route their traffic through Europe to reach each other.
With this exchange in place, networks can peer locally, reducing latency, lowering costs, and improving user experience across the board, from streaming platforms and gaming services to cloud applications and financial services.
Onix is proud to be part of this transformation.
Why Onix?
As the only Tier IV-certified data centre in Ghana, Onix offers unmatched uptime, resilience, and operational transparency. Our facility was built for interconnection.
- Dual meet-me rooms for secure, diverse fibre access
- Access to 30+ networks and carriers on site
- Carrier-neutral model that welcomes all partners
- Solar-powered operations covering 100% of daytime energy needs
- Future-ready expansion space to grow with demand
Our location, just outside central Accra, is ideal for high-performance infrastructure, and now, with LINX Accra live, the advantages of peering from Onix just got even stronger.
Built on Partnership
LINX Accra launched with three key data centre partners, Onix Data Centres, PAIX, and Digital Realty, connected by a resilient fibre backbone. This collaborative approach ensures that networks connected at any one of the sites can exchange traffic seamlessly across the entire platform.
We want to acknowledge the team at LINX for their dedication and deep experience, and we’re pleased to work alongside trusted partners to strengthen Ghana’s internet infrastructure together.
Ready to Peer
The exchange is now open for business, and the opportunities are real, whether you’re an ISP, a cloud provider, a content delivery network, or an enterprise looking to optimise your local infrastructure.
If you’re ready to reduce latency, cut international bandwidth costs, and improve the performance of your digital services in West Africa, it’s time to peer locally.
