GVF and UK-EMP, organizers of the 3rd West Africa Satellite Communications Summit (WASCS3), taking place in Lagos, Nigeria, 20th to 21st November 2007, have announced a further increase in the level of sponsorship support for the Summit from the communications solutions sector. SES New Skies, Gateway Communications, Netcom, Galaxy Backbone, and OmniGlobe Networks have now joined the Summit’s line-up of sponsors, which originally included Schlumberger and Accelon, as well as NIGCOMSAT. These companies are among the region’s most experienced and accomplished providers and integrators. The application of their expertise to the themed panel sessions will further enhance what is already an impressive program.
As with previous Summits in the series, WASCS3 will focus-in on the latest developments in the evolutionary deployment of satellite broadband networking to serve the leading commercial and enterprise verticals of the region. Such deployments are being built upon a surge of new satellite capacity, which is stimulating growth in the information and communications technology (ICT) market across Africa as a whole – particularly after the successful launch of the Nigerian owned and operated NIGCOMSAT-1 geostationary satellite in May 2007. The West Africa region in particular is increasingly at the focus of state-of-the-art satellite-based communications, with broadband satellite services assuming an even stronger leading role in the regional socio-economic development agenda.
