Hertfordshire, UK, August 8, 2013 - SkyVision Global Networks Ltd., a leading global provider of IP connectivity over satellite and fiber optic systems, announced today that it has successfully completed the installation of a private satellite network solution for UNACOOPEC-CI (National Union of Savings and Credit Cooperatives) consisting of 97 branches.
UNACOOPEC is the largest financial institution in C te dIvoire specializing in microfinance, banking, and insurance. As a highly dispersed organization, it requires a very secure and efficient communications network.
SkyVision's solution responded to all requirements, delivering a fully customized, totally secured and managed satellite-based Private Network that connects all 97 UNACOOPEC-CI branches throughout C te dIvoire. Many of these branches are located in rural areas lacking basic communications. SkyVision assumed responsibility for all project aspects, leveraging its invaluable experience in deploying large scale projects in Africa. The project consisted of network design, full HQ hub and teleport facilities installation, remote sites installation and commissioning, training and customer network management. Due to the smart network design, UNACOOPEC-CI are able to connect their WAN sites, share information among branches and the head office, by means of voice and data applications.
SkyVision's connectivity solution employs a single VSAT-based network, providing UNACOOPEC-CI with high quality network performance and reliability. In addition, the advanced technology behind SkyVision's solution offers significantly increased flexibility.
SkyVision truly values UNACOOPEC-CI's business, professionalism and commitment and is pleased to be able to meet their precise needs. stated SkyVision CEO, Mr. Doron Ben Sira.

We regard this deployment as an integral part of SkyVision's continuing expansion in providing unique solutions for a broad range of customers.

After studying the market throughout Africa, our IT staff realized that SkyVision was the company that could provide the solution we needed in a time frame that was faster than our initial specifications.
