News Flash!
The SANReN- TENET teams are keenly working towards the key milestone - the point at which both SEACOM and the SANReN Backbone have been commissioned. SEACOM has been commissioned for a period of 4 months now and the SANReN backbone is moving at a faster than scheduled pace and it looks like all SANReN PoPs will be connected ahead of the scheduled commission date of 1st December 2009.
All SANReN National Backbone circuits are currently undergoing test.
