The Story of VDT Communications
I will say that in the last three years, we are obviously not too well known in the market. I think it is by design also we’ve decided to come out and showcase our products. Originally we started as a technical organization trying to prove our concept. We have definitely proved the concept in the last three years and we now believe very strong that we have something unique to sell to the data communications market in Nigeria. It is that uniqueness of our product and our organization that we are selling to everyone.
The aspect of the communication industry where we play mainly is in data communications, which finds appeal in banks and financial institutions essentially because they have network of branches need to communicate 80% of our customers are banks.
Our focus is in transmitting data from one branch of organization to the other, probably fro bank’s head office to the branches. What uniqueness are we bringing about? Our flagship product is called DSL, which means digital subscriber Line. Recently, newspapers have been awash with claims they provide data services, but we do it differently. Ours is unique. It is different. It does not use V-SAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) especially when the service is provided inter city. We can easily call those people glorified V-SAT providers. What we do is that we simply ride on the national fibre infrastructure. By this, we actually partner with NITEL. NITEL is the sole organization that presently has infrastructure on ground that moves traffic from Lagos to Kano, Lagos to Sokoto, Lagos to Maidugiri. Indeed, the GSM companies are building their own backbone, but this same infrastructure that we are using.
