Globacom’s Eket optic fibre goes live
National telecom operator, Globacom, has said that it will on Tuesday connect the Eket-Port Harcourt axis to its high capacity optic fibre telecommunication transmission backbone.
The Eket-Port Harcourt line is the first on the Glo optic fibre network in the South-South part of the country.
The operator had recently commissioned the Abuja-Minna, Onitsha-Awka, Owerri-Onitsha and Enugu-Awka legs of the project.
Globacom’s optic fibre cable is an advanced and reliable transmission network that offers a much faster transmission of data, voice and broadband Internet and multimedia services than copper.
It is expected that the inauguration planned for Eket would lead to a major improvement in the quality of telecom services in Akwa Ibom and Rivers states and adjoining communities.
The Eket section of the optic fibre backbone is expected to connect residents of the oil rich Akwa Ibom and Rivers states to world class telecommunication services and bigger business opportunities.
The fibre cable network which is built in various rings already covers many parts of the country. Already completed are the Lagos – Abeokuta - Ibadan route; Lagos-Ijebu-Ode-Ore-Benin-Sapele-Warri-Kaima (Yenegoa junction) - Port Harcourt route; Port-Harcourt-Aba-Owerri-Enugu, Onitsha-Awka route and the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano and Abuja-Minna routes.
