GATEWAY
COMMUNICATIONS SWITCHES RECORD NUMBER OF VOICE MINUTES
2008
is a year full of opportunity and excitement for Gateway Communications
- and setting new voice minute switching records are a result of our
growth. We all know how fast our organisation is growing and how swiftly
we are achieving each goal we set, but sometimes it is difficult to
comprehend what this actually means. Well, a tangible illustration
of this is the record daily traffic volume of African voice minutes
we switched in the last quarter of 2007 - the equivalent of carrying
20% of the continent's international telephone traffic!
While
this record figure may surprise some, Gateway, as the force behind
a number of the largest GSM and fixed-line telephone operators on
the continent, including supplying companies such as Celtel, Orange,
Cable & Wireless and MTN with international connectivity and
cellular backhaul services, has the ability to switch this traffic
volume and more. In fact, our technology connects more voice traffic
from Africa to Europe and the United States than any other service
provider.
We have aggressively
expanded into the local African markets and are now servicing not
just the telephone companies, but also thousands of multinationals
in the energy, financial services and manufacturing sectors. Our
success underpins the success of many of Africa's best performing
businesses including Shell, Citigroup, Coca-Cola, Exxon Mobil, DHL
and the African Banking Corporation.
It's Gateway's
connectivity solutions that are enabling these companies to communicate
securely with each other and with their customers. And, it's Gateway's
proven ability to deliver first world connectivity and services
to businesses and individuals that keeps our clients coming back
and our business expansion on track. |
