Firms partner for high-end broadband services

One of Africa’s leading independent aerial fibre optic network infrastructure and telecommunications service providers, Phase3 Telecom, is partnering with YahClick (powered by Hughes) to offer high-speed, low-latency satellite broadband services.

Consequently, satellite broadband services would be available in Nigeria, with focus on unserved and underserved communities.

“Our satellite broadband services will provide tangible benefits in accessibility, service, cost and socio-economic development to the unserved and underserved homes and businesses in the area, unlocking all the opportunities that reliable, cost-effective satellite broadband products afford,” Vice President, Digital Transformation and Innovation of P3Tech, a division of Phase 3 Telecom, Muhammed Bashir, said.

The partnership represents a strategic collaboration to make internet more aacessible to residential and business users across Nigeria, thus bypassing the infrastructure deployment challenges and reaching even the most remote regions.

Phase3’s Executive Chairman, Stanley Jegede, noted: “By providing a truly extensive satellite coverage service with a range of product and service options, P3Tech will provide all unserved and underserved communities in Nigeria with the opportunity to connect and take part in the global digital economy, further transforming the Nigerian telecommunications space, accelerating national growth and positively contributing to the Federal Government’s broadband access target.”
