NSSLGlobal is working with Nigerian ISP and system integrator Coollink to bring L-band coverage to remote parts of Nigeria where mobile services are non-existent or erratic. 

The independent global satcoms provider believes that by working and investing in local agents such as Coolink, it is stimulating local technology development and business opportunities.

NSSLGlobal said Nigeria is Africa’s largest economy, and it is therefore essential that businesses in all areas have the right infrastructure to support their ICT needs and the local population has the means to access online services such as health and banking. 

Nadim Chidiac at Coollink added: “Satellite remains the only viable means of providing universal internet access beyond the reach of terrestrial communications in emerging markets like Nigeria.”

From its regional office in Cape Town, NSSLGlobal aims to brings together the best-in-class satellite solutions from key market providers, offering options across L-, C, and Ka-band networks. 

The company also has a wholly-owned and fully operational VSAT network, including six teleports, 23 beams and 15 satellites covering 95 per cent of the earth’s surface, and with specialist services for land, sea and air based applications.
