Suburban Telecom was incorporated in 1999 as a consulting, research and development facility and equipment provider. With the experience gained, Suburban Telecom is now making high-quality transmission connectivity available in Nigeria, allowing carriers to deliver the reliable, high-quality telecommunications services that their own customers demand.

Our strategy is to increase the supply of domestic bandwidth by building networks that will enable the sale of transmission capacity more cheaply without compromising quality of service. This in turn will stimulate demand for reliable capacity and help us to bridge the 'digital divide' in our region.

Suburban Telecom is committed to deploying the most modern technology to improve the range and quality of services available in Nigeria and beyond. We will become the number one long-distance network operator in Nigeria and we will examine every opportunity that takes us in this direction, while expanding into new markets.

Suburban Telecom supplies transmission capacity and services to mobile operators, fixed-wireless carriers, PTOs and large corporate users. Our existing customers include three of Nigeria's four GSM mobile operators.

Our satellite-based network is complemented by the use of optical fibre on major routes to deliver high-volume bandwidth to customers according to their specific requirements, based on 2Mbps 'E-1' links and multiples thereof.

Suburban Telecom is set to roll out a nationwide fibre network in order to bring new supplies of state-of-the-art capacity to its customers. This network will increase our existing transmission capacity while providing flexibility and support for new services at an affordable price, facilitating greater resilience, redundancy and alternative routing in our network. It will thus help to take Nigerian telecommunications services into a new era..

Suburban Telecom makes Quality of Service a top priority with a team of expert engineers on hand and proactive fault management programs in place. Our modern network operations centre is located in Abuja and supports the constant management of all network elements. This helps assure customers that their transmission capacity needs are met 24/7.


Suburban Telecom is committed to providing the best range of services in Africa and beyond. We will become the number one network operator in Nigeria and then expand into new markets.
