The WACREN Network Infrastructure and Maps

The WACREN network connects and interconnects national research and education networks (NRENs) in West and Central Africa.

The affordable, high speed and secured network is aimed at connecting academics, researchers and students to each other and with the rest of their colleagues across the globe, by interconnecting through the pan-European GÉANT network.

As a network that has the potential to serve millions of students and researchers in the vast West and Central African region, we have in place an effective, efficient and scalable backbone technology for operations. The backbone supports the network and capacity demands of our national RENs.
