Juwah Commissions GateWay Network

Dr. Eugene Juwah, executive vice chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission, has commissioned commercial services for provision of wireless broadband services as part of the provision of services in six states of the country by Gateway Business.
This followed the company’s successful roll out of its AirlinkTM wireless internet and MetrolinkTM broadband solutions in Lagos.
“You products and services are interesting and we will give you support to roll out to the benefit of your subscribers. We hope that your services will be reliable and affordable to the Nigerian subscribers and that the enterprises will be for the benefit of the subscribers and the nation. We wish you well,” Dr. Juwah said. 
Earlier, the company team, led by Wally Beelder, chief executive officer of GateWay Africa Business, and Guy Clarke, managing director of GateWay Business Nigeria, paid a visit to the NCC Headquarters where they made a presentation about the facilities being provided by the company in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Kano and Kaduna.
They told Dr. Juwah and his team that Gateway Business’ broadband wireless access provides organizations with fast and secure broadband connectivity, for reliable last-mile service, without the risk of potential interruptions and downtime on a terrestrial (fibre) “local loop”. AirLinkTM or MetroLinkTM can be installed and activated in a single day, giving customers immediate connectivity.
Gateway Business Nigeria will roll out high speed access services across five further states before end 2010; Benin, Abia, Onitsha, Enugu and Warri. The company has committed to complete the roll out of the network to 36 states in two further phases. This furthers Gateway Business’ drive to build a pan-African Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network that covers every major African city based on terrestrial (fibre) infrastructure with access to submarine cable.
