Since the debut of Archos brand in Nigeria early this year, the Company that pioneers the portable audio and video player market, and now specializing in Android Tablets and Smartphones, it has repeatedly revolutionized the market for consumer electronics since 1988.

Today, ARCHOS offers its own line of Android Tablets and Smartphones, as well as a full line of OEM devices.

In 2000, ARCHOS launched the Jukebox 6000, the first MP3 player combined with a hard disk.

In 2008, ARCHOS launched the first generation Internet Tablets, and then the first ever Android powered tablets in 2009.

In 2013, ARCHOS launched its first generation of Smartphones with the ARCHOS Platinum series. ARCHOS has offices in the United States, Europe and Asia.

ARCHOS is quoted on Compartment C of Eurolist, Euronext Paris.

The Company has not rested on its oars to fulfilling her promises by making Nigerians have good value for their money.

ARCHOS Fusion Storage, a software innovation, recently unveiled by the French brand at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, will be available via update (Over the Air) from today, May the 5th, 2015 on the ARCHOS 101 Oxygen, ARCHOS 50 Diamond, ARCHOS 52 Platinum, and ARCHOS 50b Helium.

It merges the internal memory capacity of the device itself with that of the Micro SD card in order for users to enjoy more applications or content.

A Long-Awaited Feature By Android Users

Ademola Olukotun, country manager, said that the R&D team of ARCHOS worked on the lower layers of the operating system from Google and its Kernel core.

It thus provides a much-needed storage option for users of Android tablets or smartphones.

This feature automatically reconciles the memory allocation problem between the internal storage and microSD card while providing increased capacity.

Key Features f ARCHOS Fusion Storage

-The touch stone for the user is that significant space is gained to hold more applications and content.

Upon activation of the merged storage, data is automatically accommodated in the internal memory of the tablet or smartphone and is then sorted.

The application files will be sent primarily to the internal memory of the tablet or smartphone, while data, photos, videos, and more will be directed to the memory card.

The space of the device is thereby increased and optimized considerably.

-Another advantage is a reversibility of the process.

The fusion of internal storage with the external storage SD card is seamless: the user can choose to return to the original separated settings at any time.

Free And Availability

The ARCHOS Fusion Storage feature is available for activation from May the 5th, 2015, free of charge, to the holders of the ARCHOS 50 Diamond models, ARCHOS 52 Platinum, ARCHOS 50b Helium, and the ARCHOS 101 Oxygen tablet.

New products in the Xenon line (ARCHOS 62 Xenon and ARCHOS 59 Xenon) integrate this innovation from launch.

Nigeria Targets Satellite-to-Mobile Services in Draft Spectrum Roadmap

Published

Kindly share this post

Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has unveiled a forward-looking strategy that places satellite-enabled mobile connectivity at the heart of the country’s drive to bridge its long-standing coverage gaps.

Nigeria Targets Satellite-to-Mobile Services in Draft Spectrum Roadmap

The draft Spectrum Roadmap for the Communications Sector for 2025 to 2030 lays out how satellite technologies could help deliver reliable voice and data services to millions of Nigerians who live beyond the reach of conventional mobile networks.

The direction is outlined in the Commission’s draft Spectrum Roadmap for the Communications Sector covering the period.

The proposed approach highlights non-terrestrial networks as a complement to existing mobile infrastructure, especially in areas where terrain, insecurity, or high costs limit the deployment of base stations.

The NCC said D2D satellite technology, which allows standard mobile phones to connect directly to satellites, is gaining traction globally as a means of delivering voice and data services without reliance on ground towers.

According to the regulator, the technology could help close persistent coverage gaps in rural, riverine, and border communities that remain outside the reach of conventional networks.

It also noted that satellite-backed connectivity could improve network reliability by providing alternative links during fibre cuts, power failures, or other disruptions affecting terrestrial systems.

The Commission added that wider adoption of D2D services could support emergency communications, public safety operations, Internet of Things applications, and services such as smart agriculture in underserved regions.

It also pointed to potential investment opportunities through partnerships between mobile network operators and satellite companies, including more efficient use of shared spectrum resources.

Beyond D2D services, the roadmap places emphasis on Low-Earth Orbit satellites to expand broadband access to remote parts of the country.

It also proposes better utilisation of Geostationary Orbit satellites and the exploration of high-altitude platforms, such as stratospheric balloons, to support mobile backhaul and rural connectivity.

The policy signals come shortly after Airtel Africa announced an agreement with SpaceX to introduce Starlink-powered direct-to-cell services in Nigeria.

The NCC’s roadmap is expected to shape future spectrum allocation, licensing decisions, and technology adoption across the telecommunications sector.
