Less than two months after its registration Visafone was announced as the Approved Bidder for the 3 carriers in the 800 MHz spectrum put on auction by the NCC. Visafone brushed off stiff competition from Multilinks, GiCell Wireless Limited and TC Africa Telecoms Network Limited to clinch the 800 MHz licence which will allow Visafone to roll out commercially across Nigeria.
Visafone has also carried out a number of strategic acquisitions to help position it for a pan-Nigerian launch. The acquired companies include ITN which is operational in the Lagos area while a more high profile and strategic acquisition is Bourdex with operations in South-eastern Nigeria. With over 40,000 subscribers and coverage in 10 states, Bourdex and the two other acquisitions provide Visafone with a ready market in the very lucrative eastern Nigerian region.
With its Unified Access Service Licence, 800 MHz spectrum and strategic acquisitions, Visafone aims to become the pre-eminent telecom operator in Nigeria by offering seamless and efficient services that will ensure the best clarity and the widest coverage.
The company will offer an exciting bouquet of superior telecommunications services that will encompass the very best of Voice, High Speed Data (3G), internet and other innovative Value Added Services to individual subscribers while also providing unequalled business solutions to both Corporate entities as well as the Small & Medium Scale Enterprises in Nigeria.
Visafone's Unified Access licence as well as the 800 MHz spectrum band has placed the company in a unique and vantage position to offer a pan-Nigerian roll-out while its strategic acquisitions offer a ready pool of customers across the country.
