Nigeria: Tizeti upgrades core network infrastructure to 100 Gbps

(Ecofin Agency) - Nigerian solar-powered Internet service provider Tizeti announced it has upgraded the capacity of its core network infrastructure to 100 Gbps. The operation involved upgrading the existing Gigabit fiber connection of its Points of Presence (POPs) in Lagos to 10Gbps and relocating from its operation data center to a world-class tier III data center.

According to CEO Kendall Ananyi, the network modernization will increase the reliability of services by providing various lines for network transit to the internet. The project guarantees a faster and more reliable connectivity with cheaper operating costs allowing the company to speed up access to affordable broadband internet for underserved populations, especially in this pandemic context with rising demand.

With this increased capacity, in addition to offering quality and affordable wireless Internet to individuals, Tizeti now has the opportunity to strengthen its offer to its business customers. Tizeti has installed more than 25,000 public Wi-Fi access points in Nigeria with 1,500,000 users and has partnered with Facebook to offer Wi-Fi Express, deploying thousands of new Internet access points in various cities across the country including the capital Abuja.

“Our consistent investment in our core infrastructure shows our dedication to meeting the global challenges of increased data use driven by teleworking, distance learning, remote gaming, video chat, and streaming. We are committed to ensuring that our customers remain ahead of the digital transformation curve with the most resilient internet service. We are committed to reducing the cost of data and accelerating internet connectivity across the continent while maintaining our competitive edge with quality unlimited internet service,” Kendall Ananyi said.
