MainOne’s African footprint spans four coastal cities tied together by the company’s own submarine cable system, which stretches from Portugal to South Africa with landings along the route in various west African countries. Nigeria is the most established market, anchored by Lagos, which houses the flagship Lekki campus and is treated by both MainOne and its parent Equinix as the digital infrastructure hub for Africa. Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire represent the newer tier of growth, brought online later in the cable’s expansion as landing stations were added in Accra in Ghana… Lagos in Nigeria, the addition of new branches in Dakar, Senegal and Grand Bassam. The 2021 acquisition by Equinix for $320 million marked Equinix’s first expansion into the African continent, folding this West African cluster into a much larger global interconnection platform.

Disclaimer: This page was compiled with a structured research and verification process from publicly available sources. A human decides whether each page is published, but individual facts — addresses, contact details, and whether a company operates in a given location — are not independently fact-checked by us. Where you see a “Verified” badge, it means multiple independent sources agreed, not that we personally confirmed it. Companies open, close, relocate, and change contact details without always updating public records, so treat everything here as a starting point, not a confirmed source.
