DC Direct Connect
DXPrivate Circuits
DC Direct Connect provides dedicated private connectivity that never touches the public internet — consistent latency and throughput for steady high-volume or latency-sensitive traffic. Order a port at a supported exchange, establish the cross-connect, and exchange routes over BGP.
Key Features
1 Gbps and 10 Gbps dedicated ports
Exchange and interconnect locations serving the West Africa (Accra) region
BGP route exchange with filtering under your control
MACsec encryption available on 10 Gbps ports
Sub-second failover to VPN standby paths
How It Works
Order your port
Request a 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps dedicated port at a supported exchange location through the console. We issue a Letter of Authorization within one business day.
Establish the cross-connect
Your carrier or the exchange operator runs a physical cross-connect from your equipment to the DAAKYI port using the LOA.
Configure BGP
Set up a BGP session with your ASN. Routes to your DC Virtual Networks propagate automatically, with route filtering under your control.
Go live with failover
Traffic flows privately with consistent latency. Pair with DC Cloud VPN as an encrypted standby path for automatic sub-second failover.
