London, August 14,
2008 – Gateway Communications,
the leading communications
service provider in Africa,
has continued to expand its
pan African reach with the
establishment of a Central
African regional office in
Cameroon. Gateway has pioneered
the delivery of high quality
and cost effective voice,
data and managed network solutions
across the continent. Africa
is the fastest growing telecommunications
market in the world and the
Cameroon office will strengthen
the sales and customer service
network across 40 countries
that Gateway operates in.
Central Africa
is a large and diverse region
with huge opportunity, consisting
of Cameroon, the Central African
Republic, Chad, the Republic
of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea
and Gabon, which collectively
comprise the Economic and
Monetary Community of Central
Africa (CEMAC). Sao Tome and
Principe, which has strong
economic links to CEMAC, is
also included in this new
Gateway Communications region.
Gateway is also announcing
that Lanre Kolade has been
promoted to the newly-created
position of Managing Director
for the Central Africa region.
A graduate of the London Business
School and Obafemi Awolowo
University, Lanre has been
successful in growing the
Gateway business within Cameroon
over the last two years, following
two years in francophone Africa,
and takes the lead in establishing
the Central African regional
head office.
In order to service new customer
demand from landlocked nations
in the Central African region,
and across the continent,
Gateway Communications has
bought additional capacity
from Intelsat, a leading provider
of fixed satellite services
worldwide.
“Our strategic focus
on Africa ensures that we
continue to meet the demanding
voice, data and satellite
networking needs of African
GSM operators and multi-national
businesses operating in Africa,”
said Peter Gbedemah, CEO of
Gateway Communications. “The
new Cameroon headquarters
and the expansion in Central
Africa is testimony to our
commitment to support and
develop a strong local presence,
skills and expertise to deliver
the best communications network
to Africa.”
