SEACOM
Precision cooling for the Mombasa cable landing station — where Kenya’s internet comes ashore.
Challenge
SEACOM, a global leader in submarine fibre-optic connectivity, operates the Mombasa Cable Landing Station and data centre — a key gateway for high-speed internet across Africa and beyond. Precision cooling is critical to consistent network uptime, low latency and uninterrupted data flow, and the coastal setting accelerates corrosion and fouling of cooling plant, so continuous operation in an aggressive environment demands disciplined support.
Solution
Proactive Networks provides annual service, maintenance and performance optimisation for SEACOM’s Mombasa facility, covering 14× 60,000 BTU and 15× 36,000 BTU Liebert precision air conditioners. With significant investment in data-centre cooling technology and factory-trained engineers, Proactive Networks is positioned to provide timely, efficient support and to keep the cooling within its operating band year-round.
Outcome
The landing station’s precision cooling is maintained on an annual discipline that holds transmission and power equipment within its operating band, with coastal corrosion and fouling addressed in service rather than between reactive call-outs. The terrestrial gateway for the subsea cable runs in a climate that is actively managed.
