SkyVision has strengthened its commitment to deliver great telecommunications solutions in Guinea by establishing an integrated fibre and wireless network across Conakry.

A member of the "Guinéenne de la Large Bande" (GUILAB) consortium, SkyVision has connected over the ACE submarine cable to its global IP/MPLS network, the SkyVision service enables customers to benefit from innovative data processing and telecom solutions. This reportedly results in quicker response times, improved communications with customers and suppliers, and increased productivity and profitability.

With the launch of the SkyVision SkyFibre service over its new network, the company immediately increased the bandwidth it provided to existing business customers. The new network will also allow SkyVision to serve new customers across Conakry and throughout Guinea, with its full range of VSAT services. The company portfolio includes internet access, end to end VPN and private networks, as well as value-added services, such as network security, cloud services, voice, business continuity and hosting solutions.
