Teraco’s Michelle McCann discusses the rise of NAPAfrica as Africa’s largest IXP, as well as how Teraco is dealing with its increasing energy needs.

She is a key member of the Teraco executive and an important part of the team responsible for developing and growing the NAPAfrica Internet Exchange into the largest IXP in South Africa.

McCann is passionate about peering, as well as content and carrier aggregation across the African continent. When NAPAfrica launched in 2012, it recorded traffic of 532Mbps. As of 2024, its Internet traffic exceeds 4Tbps. It has also become South Africa’s largest Internet exchange point. She added that NAPAfrica’s impressive traffic growth has been across a wide range of industries, including entertainment, gaming, security, and business.This is a key evolution that NAPAfrica has facilitated through its continent-wide infrastructure, with telcos in countries as far away as like Angola, Togo, and the DRC joining the exchange.The incredible growth of NAPAfrica has forced Teraco to double its capacity every year.
