Gilat Satcom has announced that it has established a new Point of Presence (PoP) in Ghana and is providing reliable, high-speed, cost-effective broadband connectivity over fibre to ISPs, enterprises and other private network operators across the country.
Gilat Satcom is a wholesale carrier offering satellite and fibre-based communication services in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. It has been operational in Ghana for more than 10 years providing satellite capacity to ISPs and businesses. It is also shareholder in WIOCC which owns the West Africa Cable System (WACS) which has a landing station in Ghana.
Gilat Satcom’s new Ghanaian PoP is directly connected to Ghana’s existing fibre network – and uses MPLS routing – as well as WACS which provides a reliable route for international traffic.
“We are investing heavily in both our fibre and satellite operations throughout Africa. We are known for providing fully-redundant extremely stable broadband networks with excellent QoS and competitive pricing. This expansion of our service in Ghana will increase both capacity and speeds,” says Dan Zjicek, Gilat Satcom’s CEO.
