Nigerian multinational telecommunications company

Globacom Limited, commonly known as Glo (Global communication), is a Nigerian multinational telecommunications company founded on 29 August 2003 by Mike Adenuga.[2] As of June 2018, the company employs more than 3,500 people worldwide.

Overview [ edit ]

GLO has over 45 million subscribers (December 2018), making it the second largest network operator in Nigeria.[3] In 2011, GLO became the first telecommunication company to build an $800 million high-capacity fibre-optic cable known as Glo-1, a submarine cable from the United Kingdom to Nigeria.[4] It is the first successful submarine cable from the United Kingdom to Nigeria. Globacom has the following strategic business units: Glo mobile, Glo Broad Access, Glo Gateway and Glo-1.

Glo Mobile [ edit ]

Glo Mobile, a subsidiary of Globacom, is Nigeria's second largest Mobile Network Operator. In the first year of operation, it had one million subscribers in over 87 towns in Nigeria and over 120 billion Naira in revenues.[6] Glo Mobile has now spread to other African countries, namely Benin[7] and Ghana.[8] Glo Mobile's subscriber base in Nigeria stood at over 45 million by December 2018.[9] As at November, 2020, the subscription level has hit 54 million.

Glo 1 submarine cable [ edit ]

GLO-1 is the first successful submarine cable from the United Kingdom to Nigeria, and GLO is the first individual African company to embark on such a project.[10][11] GLO-1 has the potential to provide high speed internet services, faster, more reliable and cheaper telecom services.[12] Glo-1 will potentially facilitate foreign investment and employment opportunities especially to Africans. The 9,800 km long cable originates from Bude in the UK and is laid from this origin to Alpha Beach in Lagos, where it will have its landing station.[13] Glo-1 will also improve teleconferencing, distance learning, disaster recovery and telemedicine among several other benefits for Nigerians and the people of West Africa.[14]

By country [ edit ]

In August 2003, Glo Mobile was launched in Nigeria. Glo Mobile introduced lower tariffs, pay per second billing and alongside other value added services.

Glo Mobile showed unprecedented growth through the sale of 600,000 SIM cards in the first ten days of operation.[16] Glo Mobile offered Per Second Billing, which charges subscribers for the exact airtime used. They also offered other value added services such as MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), Glo Magic Plus news and information, vehicle tracking, musical ring-back tones and mobile banking.

In May 2008, GLO acquired an operating license through its Glo Mobile division in Ghana and plans to capture 30% of the current 11 million subscriber market within 18 months of launch.[17] They plan on achieving this goal by launching with bundled voice and Internet services for Ghana and through specifically targeting ‘un-serviced’ areas outside Ghana's two major cities, Accra and Kumasi. Glo Mobile was set to launch in Ghana the first quarter of 2010.[18] This has however been postponed to the third quarter of 2011, and again to 2012.
