SEACOM is a privately owned telecommunications company that serves businesses throughout Africa. Customers can use our vast infrastructure to access our convergent telecommunications services and business solutions. We work with both large enterprises and small to medium-sized companies.

Our corporate clients have access to superior digital connectivity and services due to our undersea cables to an extensive fibre optic grid. When it comes to providing world-class telecommunication services, connectivity and business solutions, we take pride in staying ahead of the curve. Our business solutions include connectivity, cloud and security for companies.

We provide backup and temporary solutions, as well as scalable connectivity and networking to meet the needs of any growing business. Whether it's a large enterprise looking to tap into SEACOM's business-grade fibre network or a small business in a remote location in need of a wireless internet solution, our products and services are ideal for any business looking to scale up its digital presence.

Converged telecommunications provider

SEACOM is the owner of Africa's largest information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure. This includes several subsea cables and a vast fibre network that spans the whole of Africa. We offer networking solutions, such as multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) and software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) to enterprises across Africa.

Our SD-WAN is the perfect solution for large enterprises looking for more flexible network management. The management and operation of a business network can be done utilizing centralised software with SD-WAN. This software manages the connection and automatically chooses the most efficient route for data transmission.

SEACOM's SD-WAN network is most beneficial to businesses with multiple branches and/or data centres. All computers, servers and branches are linked, and software is utilised to establish the most efficient data flow path. A hybrid approach is another option we provide, including wireless internet and existing fibre optic lines.

SEACOM's broadband fibre internet is available to small and medium-sized businesses without the capital to invest in their own networks. This provides a low-cost, high-speed and reliable connection that is both uncapped and unshaped. Customers who live off the fibre grid, such as those in remote areas, can use SEACOM's wireless internet to connect to our digital infrastructure.

Our converged telecommunication network ensures that businesses across Kenya and Uganda have access to scalable, affordable and high-performance connectivity, whether through corporate fibre, wireless internet, or a dedicated network based on our fibre infrastructure.

Enterprise connectivity provider

Our world-class fibre connectivity, which is specifically aimed towards large public and private enterprises with over 200 employees, ensures that businesses have the single best internet connection currently available. We provide uncontended, dedicated, high-speed and low-latency fibre internet.

Our fibre lines have a 1:1 contention ratio, which means that each of our clients has their own fibre connection that is not shared with other users. These fibre lines are uncapped, with no fair use policy, meaning our customers' bandwidth usage is completely unrestricted. What sets us apart from other internet service providers is our 1:1 contention ratio and uncapped bandwidth.

Our award-winning corporate fibre internet network is delivered directly to business premises. Our corporate clients are connected to our FTTB (fibre to the business) infrastructure, which provides them with direct access to a symmetrical fibre line with no usage limits. Our bundled packages now include voice services, eliminating the need for a separate landline provider. We offer packages with speeds of up to 1Gbps with a single low-cost installation fee.

We respond rapidly to customer demands and fluctuating market conditions as we don't have the hidden costs or red tape that so often plague this industry. SEACOM is an agile company capable of quickly tailoring and deploying new services, business models and infrastructure.

Business solutions provider

Our corporate clients can benefit from network security and cloud services, as well as local 24/7 technical support. For businesses looking to safeguard their networks from shutdown or interference, we provide distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS) protection as part of our cybersecurity solutions. DDoS attacks occur when networks are inundated with bots or malware, causing network overloads and crashes. Our DDoS Protect services include on-premise, in-cloud and hybrid attack prevention, mitigation and reporting.

Our enhanced email services safeguard companies from malware, spam and phishing attacks using a cloud-based email archiving, anti-virus and anti-spam service. Our endpoint protection ensures that your devices and services have the most advanced antivirus, anti-spyware and firewall protection for businesses that run their services on the cloud.

As more businesses migrate to the cloud, having high-quality security is crucial. Businesses can use our Cloudworx service to connect directly to cloud service providers like Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services. This increases the security and reliability of these cloud service providers, lowers network expenses and enhances network consistency.

The enterprise-grade fibre we provide is cloud-ready and businesses with access to the cloud have no restrictions and can run multiple business applications on remote clouds at the same time.
