Built on Access Global's telecom work
Access Global began in 1998 in the UAE, delivering turnkey telecom projects. Since then we have helped build Etisalat's E-vision triple-play network with Alcatel France, delivered WorldCall's Karachi broadband network, owned and operated the DHA Teleman network for ten years, and introduced tower sharing in Pakistan.
Rapidlink brings that experience to Nigeria.
