Nxtra by Airtel is transforming the digital landscape with future-ready hyperscale data centres

Nxtra by Airtel, our upcoming data centre business, will offer the largest network of secure, scalable and sustainable data centres in Africa to leading enterprises, hyper-scalers, start-ups, SMEs and governments. Being associated with both data centres and telecom industry for more than a decade, we aim to provide a platform of hyper connected state-of- the art core and edge data centers in almost 50 cities across Africa.  
With our data centers, businesses will accelerate their digital journey and host their applications closer to their customers than ever before. We are committed to be a long-term partner to support our customers’ journeys to scale and create a digital future.

Our specialised data centre infrastructure will serve the emerging digital opportunity in Africa

Nxtra by Airtel: accelerating Africa’s digital transition with the construction of new high-capacity data centre facilities.

Data centres are key to meeting the hunger for data in our markets. In December 2023, we launched Nxtra by Airtel, our new data centre business, which will build one of the largest networks of high-capacity data centres in Africa. Coupled with our extensive fibre footprint, Nxtra will offer secure integrated data solutions to international businesses, large African enterprises, start-ups, SMEs and governments.

With a first centre now under construction in Lagos, Nigeria, Nxtra will expand to centres in major cities across our markets, boosting digital speeds and capacities and meeting data security and sovereignty requirements while enabling more local cloud services. The Lagos centre will plan 38 MW of total power and is expected to be live in mid-2025 – another big step on a journey to unlock our markets’ digital potential and empower Africa’s tech entrepreneurs.
