www.WirelessFederation.com/news: 10.5GHz spectrum license has been acquired by Gateway Communications, a telecoms network operator, for ten states in Nigeria: Kano, Kaduna, Rivers, Delta, Abuja, Edo, Oyo, Anambra, Abia and
Enugu. Earlier, Airlink and MetroLink 10.5GHz spectrum solutions targeted at SMEs in Lagos was deployed by the company.

Both the steps aim to strengthen its drive to build a pan-African connectivity network that covers every major African city based on satellite, submarine cable and fibre infrastructure.
