Currently offering 1G / 10G/ 100G ports sizes, KIXP is available at all Carrier Neutral Data centers in Kenya as of March 2023. TESPOK aims to engage and influence ICT policy and regulations by engaging with the government at the relevant levels to address challenges faced by Technology stakeholders and provide guidance on resolution recommendations.
