Infrastructure: MainOne to Provide Fiber Optic Network Connectivity at Lagos Free Zone, Support Businesses

MainOne, West Africa’s connectivity and data centre solutions provider, has expanded its fiber optic network infrastructure to the Lagos Free Zone in Lekki.

MainOne, in partnership with the Lagos Free Zone, launched its fiber optic network infrastructure at the zone recently, in order to support businesses with fast speed broadband internet connectivity.

Being the first private free zone in Nigeria, the Lagos Free Zone aims to be the preferred investment hub in Nigeria with best-in-class infrastructure, facilities and services.

The launch of MainOne’s fiber optic network infrastructure at the Lagos Free Zone, came on the heels of the recent visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to launch the largest fertilizer plant in Africa at the Lekki Free Zone, where businesses are currently shifting to for expansion.

MainOne’s fiber optic network infrastructure, which has already been deployed within the axis, is expected to support businesses that are currently springing up in the zone, with direct, reliable, and secure network connectivity with access to data centre services, allowing for increased productivity and network speeds of world-class standards.

Speaking at the launch, the Chief Executive Officer of MainOne, Funke Opeke, said the hub powering the entire fiber optic network infrastructure at the Lagos Free Zone, has the capacity of 10 Gigabytes per second from day one, with plans to grow it to one Terabyte per second over the years as the number of businesses increase in the zone.
