Anchor Telecoms Rolls out Drums to Celebrate 10th Anniversary
Anchor Telecoms, one of Nigeria’s innovative telecommunication companies with expertise in the provision of network design and optimizations prides itself as being successful after 10 years of launching cutting edge solutions that have been able to address critical issues of infrastructural development in the ICT industry.
Tony Emoekpere, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Anchor Telecoms, Anchor Telecoms, made made remark at the weekend, in Lagos when the IT infrastructure service provider rolled out the drums to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
Emoekperesaid despite some challenges, the company has been able to stand the test of time in providing excellent service, especially in the areas of site construction, network implementation services and network maintenance services in the last 10 years.
“It has been an interesting journey in the last 10 years for a company that started with three staff, and has grown to become a company with about 80 staff in different countries, including Ghana, Gabon and Cameroun. I am fulfilled and proud today because 10 years have gone and we are still standing. A lot of companies started same time with us, but have gone,” he said on the sideline of the celebration that attracted the company’s clients, family and friends.
He explained that Anchor Telecoms has been able to leverage on its expertise from site construction to providing a lot of engineering services, ranging from fibre optic, Microwave, BTS and a whole lot of infrastructure services. “We have covered the whole country by delivering services that have grown Anchor Telecoms from a one service company to a company that is now providing other services. That’s our biggest achievement so far.”
He added that Anchor Telecoms is looking forward at achieving two basic things in the next five years; to grow its reach in Africa to countries like Benin, Guinea Conakry.
Secondly, to provide services like broadband that can be directed at the consumer, thus, it has recently acquired an ISP license to explore the nation’s data market.
When asked to access the ICT industry in 2015, Emoekpere said in his view, the telecommunications infrastructure space, where Anchor Telecoms plays experienced some changes with regard to ownership of infrastructure.
The MD/CEO extolled the approach of telcos that handed their infrastructures to companies that are now offering them back on a lease arrangement.
He said this action will further deepen infrastructure in the country and ultimately make telecom operators to focus on marketing their services and improving quality of service.
“You recalled that the telecom operators have been rolling out infrastructures to suite their own needs, but when the infrastructure space is liberalized, it will allow for a deeper penetration of services because more people can now ride on these infrastructure as against when they are kept primarily for the use of a particular operator,” he stressed.
