Partners With Dolphin Telecom
It’s no secret that Broadbased Communications has become one of the most sought-after ISPs in Africa. The company’s network spans over 3,500km, and is designed to self-heal through redundant routes. It connects the company’s network to over 20 PoPs (Points of Presence) across the country, including submarine cable landing stations, data centres, and major corporate clients in Lagos and Abuja. The company also utilizes the Glo-1 submarine cable, which stretches across the west coast of Africa.
Dolphin Telecom and Broadbased Communications are partnering to provide wholesale internet access across the major districts in Lagos. The two companies have a total network span of 3,500 km, and the latter uses a horizontal directional drilling (HDD) machine to install fiber optic cables. In addition, Broadbased uses redundant routes to reach over 20 points of presence (PoPs) in different parts of the country. Its network is designed to ensure reliable and fast internet service for all its clients, which includes major telcos/ISP hubs, corporate customers, and government offices.
Under the deal, Broadbased will provide last mile metro fibre connectivity to Dolphin’s clients, including Nigerian ISPs and Telecom Operators. The two companies are members of the African Coast to Europe submarine cable system consortium. Dolphin Telecoms operates the Nigerian landing station of the ACE submarine cable system. Broadbased will provide the last mile fibre connectivity to Dolphin Telecoms’ clients. The ACE submarine cable system is being upgraded to 100G technology, increasing its design capacity from 5.12 Tbps to 12.8 Tbps.
