Leading global provider of Internet
Protocol (IP) connectivity over satellite and fibre optic systems, SkyVision
Global Networks Limited has advanced its services with the establishment of new
Point-of-Presence (PoP) facility in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The SkyVision’s existing PoP in Lagos
and new PoP in Abuja are connected to the company’s global MPLS backbone
network which enables its customers’ direct access to the international
internet backbone.
SkyVision Sales Director for West
Africa, Mr. Eitan Mesika, said this has been made possible through SkyVision’s
broad network as well as connectivity from anywhere in the world to Nigeria
using multiple submarine cables.
“Providing
unlimited, high-quality internet access services through our PoP in Abuja
directly to the customer premises dramatically improves the customer experience
and places SkyVision as a true end-to-end solution provider,” he said.
The
new PoP in Abuja, he said, would also allow organizations to benefit from
SkyVision’s Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) hub in Lagos, which provides
satellite-based virtual private network services, connecting corporate
headquarters to sites that are not covered by any reliable fiber or microwave
service.
The company's fibre-based services, he
said, include SkyVision Internet Access, SkyVision IP-Virtual Private Network (VPN)
and Carrier Ethernet services.
Also,
he noted that SkyVision offers its Internet and VPN customers in Nigeria,
comprehensive Managed Firewall Services which include Managed Services and
Self-Service layers to enable SkyVision customers with options including
firewall, traffic shaping, SSL VPN and Unified Threat Management (UTM) by web
content filtering and application control and integrated intrusion prevention
including antivirus and spyware.
He
further pointed out that these services provide excellent benefits to enterprise
customers as they improve productivity and provide network security without the
need to invest in installing and managing dedicated equipment for their
network.
Stressing, “As a local provider, we
believe in the importance of the Nigerian market and will continue to invest
considerable resources in developing and extending our fibre network coverage
and services within the country.”
