The Democratic Republic of the Congo is the largest francophone country in the world and has one of the richest natural resources in Africa. Kinshasa is one of the continent’s most populous metropolises; Lubumbashi in the south is the center of the important copper and cobalt mining industry. International mining groups, development organizations, telecommunications companies and trading companies are actively operating and require robust, resilient Site Connectivity.

Site Connectivity describes the process and technology that helps to connect different locations such as offices, branches or data centers. In the digital era, this networking is of crucial importance as it enables seamless communication and data transfer between locations.

Why Site Connectivity?

Mining and extractive industries: The DR Congo produces over 70% of the world’s cobalt and is a leading copper producer. Mining companies require real-time connectivity between mine sites in Katanga, Lubumbashi and global headquarters for operational data, safety systems and compliance reporting.

International organizations: Kinshasa is home to one of the largest UN missions in the world (MONUSCO) as well as numerous international NGOs. These structures require secure, highly available connections to global networks and partner institutions. Trade and economic hub: Kinshasa is the economic center of gravity for nine neighboring countries. Trade and logistics companies benefit from an end-to-end WAN architecture that connects all locations in the country’s vast territory.
