Customers, stakeholders, and a vast diversity of worldwide service providers who operate the type of infrastructure that Galaxy Backbone provides understand that no infrastructure is perfect. What’s important is to have a partner that can lead them through any challenges that may arise and help them handle them quickly and effectively. GBB has proved this in the lives of its customers and other stakeholders, and it continues to do so.
What We Know About Galaxy Backbone
GBB began operations in 2007 and has since concentrated on strengthening and enhancing its service infrastructure to ensure that its operations and management continuously reach world-class standards. A lot of investment has been made in the area of enhancing and expanding this infrastructure, not just in the Federal Capital Territory, where GBB currently has the largest fibre cable roll-out, but also across the country, thanks to the intervention of the Federal Government and a number of global partners. It continues to install fiber optic cables and construct world-class data centers around the country in order to improve Internet services for small enterprises, government institutions, and residences, as well as grow broadband penetration and raise people’s living standards.
GBB’s Network Communications Infrastructure, which is capable of addressing the changing needs of its clients in the environment in which they find themselves, is one of the organization’s key areas of focus, which it has developed and enhanced over the years. Its cutting-edge Network Monitoring & Management Centre aids in the management and control of its clients’ connectivity and unified communications experiences in the public sector.
The Key Goals of Galaxy Backbone Current Activities
- Strengthen GBB’s service delivery capabilities; and
- Position GBB as a critical partner to service providers in both the public and private sectors.
The speed of connectivity will be greatly improved in a short period, with high-speed fiber optic cables being laid in over 20 states of the Federation and more to be deployed in other regions of the country over the next 24 months. In addition, eLTE base stations have been installed in a number of places across the country. Customers will have credible alternatives based on their specific areas.
