In the wake of recent undersea cable damage causing widespread internet shutdowns across Africa, Globacom, Nigeria’s leading indigenous telecoms provider, has emerged as a beacon of stability. Glo’s submarine cable network has remained operational throughout the crisis, providing vital connectivity for millions.

The internet’s backbone is the undersea cables transport volumes of data across countries. Regrettably, recent damage to these cables in West Africa destroyed vital connections, impairing people’s and companies’ ability to access the internet in the area.

Glo’s submerged cable network is not widely publicised, but its actions during this crisis say a lot about it.

By guaranteeing uninterrupted internet connection for their clients, this lessened the negative effects of the outage on the economy and society.

Glo’s submarine cable is unique not only because of its physical strength but also because of the careful planning and financial investment that went into its construction and maintenance. Glo has made sure that even in the face of unforeseen difficulties, its cable network would continue to function thanks to cutting-edge technology and strict maintenance schedules.

Glo’s cable network service has provided more than just internet access for Nigerians. It undoubtedly functions as a crucial fallback for nearby nations whose main connections were broken. In addition to helping Glo keep its devoted customers, this act of fortitude may have improved regional communication at a crucial juncture.

Furthermore, Glo is dedicated to offering dependable connectivity that goes beyond basic infrastructure. The organisation has demonstrated initiative by putting emergency measures into place and working with other relevant parties to minimise interruptions and quickly restore services.

Glo’s proactive strategy has won the respect and confidence of its clientele, who depend on its network for everyday business and communication requirements. Glo’s achievement in maintaining connectivity during this crisis is a testament to their foresight and investment in infrastructure.
