MainOne, Lagos- based provider of connectivity ser- vices for businesses in West Africa, says it has invested over $300 million in broad- band infrastructure in West Africa towards improving connectivity and data centre services across the region.

Within its five-year of op- erations, the telecoms com- pany had made further in- vestments in growing directly and through partnerships its fibre terrestrial network and Point of Presence (PoPs) across the region.

The com- pany opened a Tier III Data Centre, MDX-I, which was first of its kind for the region in Lagos earlier this year.

Speaking at a press con- ference organised to intimate the media on the company’s five-year milestone, Funke Opeke, CEO, MainOne, on Tuesday, discussed the evo- lution of the company, ini- tially started as a submarine cable operator to becoming a full-service business-to- business communications services provider.
