Teraco, a Digital Realty company and provider of interconnection platforms and vendor-neutral colocation data centres, today announced a five-year support grant extension to the South African Broadband Education Networks SABEN via the Teraco Connect Foundation.
In 2020, Teraco signed a five-year grant, which the company has now extended for a further five years to 2030 worth a cumulative R17.5 million. The funding from Teraco will support the national drive by SABEN to end bandwidth poverty among schools and public Technical and Vocational Education and Training TVET colleges in South Africa.
SABEN is a non-profit company, part of South Africa's National Research and Education Network NREN, serving as the sole provider of these services to public TVET colleges across the country.
