This feat will  be complemented in the next couple of weeks by similar launches in Paris, France and Frankfurt, Germany while the point of  presence in the United States of America will be launched in four weeks. The facilities will enable the network to directly interconnect other leading international carrier service providers, provide quality  hubbing services to other operators in the world and terminate and aggregate quality traffic directly to Europe. With this development, Nigerian telecommunication users routing their calls through the Globacom Gateway will no longer  experience difficulties with the quality of international calls originating from or terminating in Nigeria as there will be a significant  improvement in voice clarity, virtual elimination of call distortion and increase in call completion rates. Hitherto, Nigerians had  contended with low voice quality in international calls in terms of clarity, delays, distortions and poor call completion. The launch of Globacom international carrier services will lead to a significant improvement in calls terminating in Nigeria and a  reduction in the frustration of international telephone operators sending traffic into Nigeria. According to Mr. Ashok Israni, Chief Operating Officer of Glo Gateway, the deployment of four International Gateways in  Nigeria and the launch of a switch in the UK and the Points of Presence in Germany, France and the USA, all on dedicated  circuits, have strongly positioned Globacom to aggregate and terminate quality international traffic for telephone operators in  Nigeria and the rest of the world.   Home  |  Cover Stories  |  National Newsreel  |  Politics  |  Business  |  Sports  |  World  | Contact  | Advert Rates © 1998- 2004.
