Leading telecommunications company, Globacom, has reaffirmed its commitment to delivering top-tier network efficiency and service excellence by continuing the nationwide upgrade of its infrastructure.
The large-scale enhancement project, which commenced last year, includes the modernization of existing facilities and the deployment of new base transceiver stations. This initiative is aimed at boosting high-speed data connectivity and improving voice services for its expanding customer base.
In response to recent telecom tariff adjustments, Globacom reiterated its dedication to building a world-class telecommunications network while ensuring competitive pricing for both voice and data services.
According to the company, “The network upgrade covers various enhancements, including the nationwide deployment of new sites, modernization of existing ones, core network improvements, access network enhancements, transmission and IP network expansion, as well as upgrades to fiber infrastructure. Additionally, passive equipment expansions, such as power and environmental upgrades, are also being implemented.”
In recent months, Globacom has successfully installed hundreds of new sites in key locations, including Lagos, Ogun, Nasarawa, Rivers, Edo, Delta, Cross River, Kaduna, Kano, and Abuja. This expansion aims to enhance network capacity, deliver superior voice and data services, and alleviate congestion in high-traffic areas.
Furthermore, the company has integrated LTE 2600 sites in major markets such as Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, and Kwara, as well as within select tertiary institutions, to provide faster data services and reduce network congestion.
Globacom has also increased data network capacity and carried out enhancements across 1,700 sites in states including Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Osun, Ekiti, Edo, Delta, Anambra, Enugu, Abia, Ebonyi, Bayelsa, Benue, Nasarawa, Kaduna, and Plateau. This expansion aligns with the Federal Government’s broadband penetration initiative, ensuring improved data speeds, network coverage, and service reliability.
Additionally, the company has deployed hundreds of 2G, 3G, and 4G base stations to strengthen coverage and meet rising capacity demands. To support these developments, Globacom has upgraded the capacity of its Glo1 submarine cable, guaranteeing seamless access to ultra-fast connectivity for an enhanced browsing and calling experience.
As part of its ongoing efforts to improve network availability, Globacom has also embarked on a nationwide power and fiber infrastructure upgrade. This includes the deployment of thousands of new generators and the replacement of several kilometers of aging fiber routes, while also laying new fiber networks to create redundancy and improve service reliability.
“With these extensive upgrades, we reaffirm our commitment to providing world-class telecommunications services, empowering Nigerians to stay connected and productive wherever they go,” the company stated.
