Abstract

GIS Mapping of Network Transport Gaps in Nigeria
Track: Telecommunications
Authors: Abdullahi Maikano

The Universal Service Provision Secretariat (USPS) carried out a study to identify and establish clusters of voice telephony and network transport gaps in the country. The outcome will assist the USPF to design strategies to cover these gaps.

Through the use of data of existing BTSs coupled with field work, areas without telephony coverage and network transport infrastructure were mapped into clusters.

Interactive GIS map of this study is available on USPF website www.uspf.gov.ng.
