Galaxy Backbone built and operates the National Information and Communication Technology Infrastructure Backbone (NICTIB) a cross-country optical fibre backbone developed to power digital transformation across Nigeria. In its first phase of this project, we covered a distance of 1484 km of backbone, passing through 13 states.
We are now in the 2nd phase of this project and have added 13 states to our coverage. At the moment, GBB’s Fibre passes through 26 states of Nigeria, covering over 5000 kilometers. With this high speed and secure fibre optic coverage, we are set to support and deepen our partnership with Governments, ICT Companies and other Corporate organisations in enabling digital services.

Availability
The backbone currently has a monthly availability of 98%. Availability is expected to reach 99.9 at the end of phase 2.
Managed Support
We have in place a 24/7 managed support system to provide preventive and corrective maintenance for the backbone to keep the availability within SLA specifications.
Future Plan
By the end of phase 2 of the NICTIB the backbone would have increased to 3441 km of optical fiber traversing 41 cities including cities in the North East, North West and South West of Nigeria. This will close our optical fibre ring for better protection and give an assured 99.9% availability and better quality of service.
