Andrew Owens, lead for interconnection and peering at Teraco

NTP is a protocol used to synchronise computer clock times over networks. This ensures that all devices on a network have the same accurate time, critical for many applications such as financial transactions, industrial control systems, and scientific data collection.

“Our new NTP service simplifies network synchronisation for enterprise clients, providing a cost-effective and scalable solution,” said Andrew Owens, lead for interconnection and peering at Teraco, NAPAfrica's parent company.

“This timing platform will accelerate the growth of digital services across Africa, optimising processes and enabling low-latency operations.”
