Intelsat CellBackhaul Enabling Broadband Cellular Growth in Region
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Intelsat, operator of one of the world’s largest integrated satellite and terrestrial networks, has unveiled a new satellite cellular backhaul service platform, located at the Open Access Datacenter (WIOCC) in Lagos, Nigeria, marking a major milestone in our efforts to enhance Nigeria and Africa’s connectivity infrastructure.
