Main One Cable has launched a video content network that will enable Nigerians connect to the world.
The company launched the network known as the Video Connect Network, in partnership with Global Network Services, Tata Communications.

The Video Connet Network will allow broadcast and production companies in Nigeria to distribute live video content worldwide. It will also enhance international broadcasters' reach into the key emerging region.

Main One owns the first privately-owned submarine cable over a distance of 7,000 kilometres along the West African coastline, with initial landing stations in Nigeria, Ghana and Portugal. The company also provides open access wholesale international broadband capacity to countries along the west coast of Africa.

Main One Chief Executive Officer, Funke Opeke, described the relationship between the two companies as 'groundbreaking', adding that it would be "bringing new opportunities not only to Nigeria but Africa as a whole".

Senior Vice-President, Global Network Services, Tata Communications, Genius Wong, said that following increasing demand for high-quality video capability in and out of Nigeria, Tata Communications' partnership with Main One connected its global video network to an expansive local fibre network.

This, he said, had created a dedicated video network connecting to key broadcasters as well as production and post-production houses in Africa.
