Tower network operator, Helios Towers Nigeria (HTN) has signed a 120-site co-location deal with Gateway Business Nigeria for a nationwide network roll out in Nigeria. The deal follows Gateway Business' roll out of its Airlink and MetroLink wireless broadband services, using the same 10.5GHz solution in Lagos.
Helios Towers Nigeria (HTN) has over 1,000 sites nationwide and will provide end-to-end co-location services to Gateway Business Nigeria.
Gateway Business is building a pan-African MPLS network that will cover every major African city and has acquired 10.5GHz spectrum licenses for point to multipoint connectivity in Nigeria. The company will roll out wireless broadband services across 10 Nigerian states in 2010, with Port Harcourt and Abuja scheduled to go live in the next few weeks. A further 26 states will go live through 2011.
The partnership will enable Gateway Business to roll out services through the co-location on HTN sites.
HTN recently increased its portfolio to over 1,000 sites and is growing its managed services business, planning to expand its network to 2,000 fully managed sites by end of 2010.
