Globacom Limited (Glo): Igniting Connectivity, Enriching Lives
Globacom Limited, affectionately known as Glo—a Nigerian multinational telecommunication company that stands as a beacon of innovation and progress. Guided by a bold vision, Glo aspires to create the largest and most exceptional telecommunications network in Africa. Over the past 20 years, it has trailblazed a path of pioneering advancements that have fueled its rapid expansion and growth.
Glo etched its name in history by becoming the first single company to build a high-capacity sub-marine fiber-optic cable, the legendary Glo-1. This transformative cable linked the United Kingdom to Nigeria. The monumental 9,800km-long undersea cable boasts landing points across continents—Lagos, Nigeria; Accra, Ghana; Dakar, Senegal; Nouakchott, Mauritania; Casablanca, Morocco; Sesimbra, Portugal; Vigo, Spain; and Bude in England.
In Nigeria, Glo’s fiber-optic cable network, fortified by a managed IP MPLS network, extends its reach to the farthest corners of the nation. Spanning over 130 cities, this network grants businesses low latency, heightened connectivity, and expanded bandwidth—enabling the reliable transmission of voice, video, and data. Aptly nicknamed the “grandmaster of data,” Glo’s reach extends to over 61 million Nigerian phone users, solidifying its position as the second-largest telecom provider in the country, according to the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
In recent years, Globacom has been at the forefront of Nigeria’s digital revolution, introducing a range of custom-designed and community-driven voice and data connectivity solutions. These solutions serve as keystones in managing intricate networking systems, with a particular focus on sectors such as E-Health, Smart Cognitive Learning, Smart Energy, Industrial IoT, and Cloud Applications—offering secured and specialized IT solutions.
A testament to its unrelenting commitment to enriching lives, Glo has unveiled a groundbreaking mobile TV service—Glo TV. This innovative offering promises an all-encompassing entertainment experience, featuring premium content spanning entertainment, news, and sports. Glo TV stands poised to become Nigeria’s ultimate entertainment destination, uniting diverse forms of media under one digital roof.
Globacom Limited (Glo) is more than a telecommunication provider; it is an architect of connectivity, a catalyst for progress, and a trailblazer of innovation. As it continues to redefine the contours of communication, Glo’s impact resonates deeply, illuminating pathways to a future where seamless connectivity enriches lives and empowers the digital dreams of millions.
