Angola Cables on Thursday announced that it has engineered and developed a dedicated IP transit solution offering significant latency reductions on international IP routings.
Through dedicated or premium connections between the major gaming servers across the world, gamers on the African continent and in the southern hemisphere are able to drastically reduce latency or lag by between 20 and 50%, claims the Company.
During the course of a live streamed simulation event between users in South America and Africa, the company was able to show a reduction in ping of between 70 and 100ms.The significant reduction in latency is a game-altering improvement for many gamers in Africa who have traditionally been handicapped by poor connection speeds and the resulting lag.
The solution showcased by Angola Cables effectively selects the optimal routes between the international game server platforms or providers and the end user, providing a more direct hyper connection offering a better quality, improved ping, and lower latency link. Gamers or users whose internet providers are connected directly to the Angola Cables network will be able to compete without delays in connectivity, resulting in a better overall gaming experience. The reduction in latency will benefit the many gamers in Africa wanting to compete with their gaming counterparts in the US, Latin America Europe and elsewhere, said Angola Cables.
Online players accessing international platforms such as Sony, Xbox, RIOT, Valve, Tencent, Highwinds, Blizzard and others will be able to take advantage of improved latencies – or less latency of up to 20%, vastly improving the overall gaming experience.

We also believe that we can provide a premium commodity for ISPs, CDNs and OTTs that require a more expedient and customised IP Transit solution, based on lower latency routings.
