Online gathered that the two independent links provided by MTN offers high
bandwidth data connectivity between Shell’s operations in Lagos and Port
Harcourt; and Port Harcourt and Warri.
These, the Chief Enterprise Solutions Officer at
MTN Nigeria, Mr. Babatunde Osho, noted that both links ride on MTN’s nationwide
fibre optic network providing both primary
connectivity and redundancy to support
voice, data and video traffic from Shell’s advanced enterprise applications.
He
said that reliable Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity is the platform upon
which large organisations could deploy collaborative solutions that make them
more productive and efficient.
According
to him, the recent deployments in the oil and gas space confirmed that
organisations in Nigeria are gearing up for getting the most of what the latest
technology has to offer.
“With
reliable IP connectivity, large multi-location organisations can collaborate
better, greatly increasing the productivity of their workforce. With the
largest fibre network in Nigeria and our capabilities in communication,
collaboration and optimisation, MTN is uniquely positioned to be the single,
trusted technology partner for leading businesses in Nigeria,” he said.
He recalled that recently,
MTN deployed two DS3 (45MB) data links to two
other oil and gas majors, which involved the implementation of transmission
through the creeks of the Niger Delta.
