Maybe an indication that the internationally experienced and active hardware supplier Huawei will help the Banjul efforts, and whoever will by trained with the experience of ISOC when new IXP will be set up in more places in Africa.

My understanding is that the training (done by folks from ISOC partnering with AfriNIC and other Africa-based organizations is technology neutral.  I'm told by one of the folks involved in Gambia that they expect the IXP to be set up in 6 months or so.  As far as I know, there hasn't been any decision on hardware in the IXP.
