Overview

Established in 1999, DataNet a BringCom company is a privately owned network service provider operating in Uganda and Kenya. DataNet is at the forefront of the East Africa regional telecommunications industry expanding its MEF CE 2.0 certified network and bringing new corporate services to the market, earning the reputation for providing reliable, secure, business-grade networking services to clients who run critical business applications throughout East Africa.

In August 2018 DataNet was acquired by US-based telecommunications service provider BringCom (www.BringCom.com). DataNet offers corporate network connectivity as well as secure and reliable wholesale access services. DataNet was the first company in the East African region to enroll in the MEF Services Interconnect program (MEF-SI) with the aim of establishing standardized Carrier Ethernet access services and networks. It also launched EP-LAN service over its Carrier Ethernet network between Uganda and Kenya powering multi-branch inter-connectivities/operations and LAN extensions. More recently, the company announced its access network MEF CE 2.0 E-Access certification. DataNet brings into the East African region MEF standardized/certified access circuits and services as well as standardized ENNI interconnections to expand further the global reach of standardized Carrier Ethernet services. “Datanet’s acquisition reflects BringCom’s strategy to expand its pan-African Carrier Ethernet network and international global connectivity services”, said Fabrice Langreney, President and CEO of BringCom. “BringCom’s investment in the region allows us to increase our ability to competitively service the stringent requirements of customers with challenging telecommunications applications.” BringCom is committed to providing affordable and reliable international connectivity services to corporations and government agencies in Africa and the Middle East.
