IXPN Local Traffic Tops 1 TB/s, Nigeria Hits Internet Milestone

For the first time, Nigeria recorded a peak Internet traffic of 1 terabit per second (1Tbps), marking a significant milestone in the nation’s rapidly growing digital transformation.

According to the Internet Exchange Point of Nigeria (IXPN), peak domestic internet traffic has surpassed 1 Terabit per second (1Tbps) for the first time. This historic accomplishment solidifies Nigeria’s increasing digital dominance.

Nigeria’s digital maturity and collective progress towards becoming a tech-driven nation are symbolized by this milestone, according to Mr. Muhammad Rudman, CEO of IXPN, who made the announcement in Lagos on Tuesday.

He claims that Nigeria has lowered costs, increased speeds, and made sure its digital economy prospers with domestic infrastructure by limiting local internet traffic within the nation.

For everyone, from corporations using financial platforms to students using Zoom, reaching 1 Tbps will result in quicker internet, cheaper prices, and more dependable digital services, according to Rudman.

Practically speaking, this indicates:

Without any issues, more than a million Zoom calls can be made simultaneously.

Over 200,000 users can watch Nollywood in high definition without any buffering on Netflix.

In a single second, it can move the data of 50,000 cell phones. Reaching this milestone will help Nigeria become less dependent on foreign bandwidth, reduce latency for local services, and solidify its position as Africa’s digital hub.

“This accomplishment demonstrates the strength of teamwork, creativity, and the unwavering quest for a quicker, more connected Nigeria,” Rudman said.

The IXPN CEO went on to say that the achievement has important economic ramifications in addition to technological ones.

He claims that IXPN lessens reliance on foreign bandwidth by promoting local traffic exchange.

Nigerian companies may save millions of dollars a year on international bandwidth bills by using local data exchange, he said, and customers can enjoy smoother streaming, gaming, and real-time services, which improves their whole online experience.

Rudman went on to say that bolstering Nigeria’s internet infrastructure ensures reliable access to essential services like healthcare and education while guarding against worldwide interruptions.

According to him, this also promotes innovation and growth in digital services like finance, edtech, e-commerce, and e-health by optimizing them.

In addition, Rudman revealed that polls of IXPN members over the years have revealed an increasing proportion of local internet traffic in Nigeria.

He claims that a recent study shows that some individuals who are connected can use IXPN to domesticate or localize as much as 70% of their internet traffic.

IXPN Marketing Manager Raphael Iloka also discussed the milestone, saying:

“End users directly gain as more banks, public entities, ISPs, and content providers localize the traffic they send through the IXP. We’re laying the groundwork for Nigeria’s digital economy, not merely moving data.

He went on to say that the 1 Tbps peak demonstrates the amazing effect of cooperation across all parties involved.

The largest Internet Exchange Point in Nigeria, IXPN is a membership-based, non-profit organization that acts as a vital centre for connecting ISPs, content networks, businesses, and digital platforms.

The organization promotes faster and more dependable connectivity throughout Nigeria and the larger West African region by facilitating the effective flow of internet traffic within Nigeria.

With a network of more than 130 active, interconnected members, IXPN is the leading Regional Internet Exchange Point (RIXP) in West Africa.

These include all Nigerian Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), Microsoft, TikTok, Amazon, Google, and Meta (Facebook), among other industry titans.
