SkyVision Global Networks Ltd, provider of IP connectivity over satellite and fibre optic systems, has announced the launch of their new services targeted at the Corporate and Enterprise market in Nigeria.

O3b Networks, a Google-backed satellite company aimed at supporting super-fast broadband connections to Africa and other emerging markets, revealed late last year that it has raised $1.18bn in financing to finally bring the service on line by the first half of 2013.

Geoforce, Inc. recently launched GPS equipment tracking services covering offshore and onshore oil and gas operations in West Africa. The company’s award-winning service combines satellite tracking devices with web-based software to allow users to locate, manage, and receive movement alerts for high value mobile equipment such as cargo baskets, containers, tanks, rental equipment, service equipment, vehicles, and vessels.
