The Nigeria Communication Satellite Limited (NigComSat) has signed a partnership deal with Hotspot Network Limited to connect several rural communities across Nigeria.
Jane Egerton-Idehen, chief executive officer of the Satellite company disclosed this over the weekend while highlighting her activities for the past week.
“NIGCOMSAT and Hotspot Network would leverage their strengths to deploy connectivity solutions to areas lacking internet access,” she said, while adding that NigComSat would provide satellite coverage for transmission for Hotspot Network sites where required as the company commences its expansion.
She noted that the partnership would deliver reliable and affordable internet services in underserved communities nationwide, while noting that internet access has remained a challenge for many Nigerians, particularly in rural areas.
“We are thrilled to work alongside NIGCOMSAT in this endeavour. At Hotspot, connecting the millions of unconnected persons remains a cardinal objective of our mission.
“By combining our expertise and resources, we will be able to deploy innovative solutions that bring reliable and affordable internet access to rural communities, empowering them to participate fully in the digital economy and access essential services,” Egerton-Idehen said.
