SkyVision Global Networks Ltd., aleading global provider of IP connectivity over satellite and fibre optic systems, has announced the extension of its fibre network in Nigeria through the establishment of its new point of presence (PoP) facility in Abuja, Nigeria. SkyVision’s existing PoP in Lagos and new PoP in Abuja are connected to the company’s global MPLS backbone network enabling its customers’ direct access to the international internet backbone. This is made possible through SkyVision’s broad network as well as connectivity from anywhere in the world to Nigeria using multiple Submarine cables. “Providing unlimited, high-quality internet access services through our PoP in Abuja directly to the customer premises dramatically improves the customer experience and places SkyVision as a true end-to-end solution provider.” said Mr. EitanMesika, SkyVision Sales Director for West Africa. The new PoP in Abuja will also allow organizations to benefit from SkyVision’s VSAT hub in Lagos which provides satellite-based virtual private network services, connecting corporate headquarters to sites that are not covered by any reliable fiber or microwave service. The company’s fibre-based services include SkyVision Internet Access, SkyVision IP-VPN and Carrier Ethernet services. SkyVision also offers its Internet and VPN customers in Nigeria, comprehensive Managed Firewall Services which include Managed Services and Self-Service layers to enable SkyVision customers with options including Firewall, Traffic Shaping, SSL VPN and Unified Threat Management (UTM) by web content filtering and application control and integrated intrusion prevention including antivirus/spyware. These services provide excellent benefits to enterprise customers as they improve productivity and provide network security without the need to invest in installing and managing dedicated equipment for their network. “As a local provider, we believe in the importance of the Nigerian market and will continue to invest considerable resources in developing and extending our fibre network coverage and services within the country” added Mr. Mesika.
