Satellite and fiber-based connectivity services provider in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, Gilat Satcom has announced the expansion of its operations in Ghana.

The company says this is to meet the growing demand for fast, reliable and secure broadband services from its existing and prospective customers.

CEO Dan Zjicek explained the reason for the latest move by the company which includes the upgrade of its point-of-presence (PoP) located in the Rack Center Data Center in Accra. The company now uses redundant, terrestrial metro fiber to provide a 1-10Gbps service to existing and new customers.

"We are investing heavily in both our fiber and satellite operations throughout Africa. We are known for providing fully redundant, extremely stable broadband networks with excellent quality of service and compelling pricing. This upgrade of our infrastructure in Ghana will increase both capacity and service uptime".

Gilat Satcom customers will also receive offers of value added services such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection and traffic management.

The company's Ghanaian POP is directly connected to the West Africa Cable System (WACS) which has a landing station in Ghana and provides a reliable route for international traffic. Gilat Satcom is a shareholder in WIOCC, owners of WACS.
