Skyvision Guinee SA: Innovation and resilience in a challenging market
The West African telecom industry faces ongoing challenges. These include unreliable power, high costs and limited fibre redundancy. Many areas still rely on satellite links where fibre or terrestrial infrastructure is lacking. Skyvision builds resilience by offering fibre in Conakry and satellite backup via VSAT across remote regions. This mix allows continuity if fibre fails or is not available.
Innovation in the sector is driven by demand for better connectivity and cost control. Skyvision’s SkyFibre rollout in Conakry brought higher capacity and lower latency to business users. Its role in the GUILAB consortium connects its services to ACE submarine cable infrastructure and national broadband capacity. The firm also delivers value‑added services like cloud hosting and VPNs to differentiate from basic ISPs.
