network security, quality of service and
traffic prioritization were key decision factors
Orange Business Services is providing secure satellite VPN
services to improve communication between the Russian headquarters
of Nordgold and the company’s Lefa mine in Guinea and the Bissa and
Taparko mines in Burkina Faso in West Africa. Nordgold has six
other mining companies in Russia and Kazakhstan.
Due to its rapid business growth in Africa, Nordgold needed to
modernize its data channels to improve communication between sites
while benefiting from a high level of network security, quality of
service, an optimal price and the ability to prioritize traffic,
especially video conferencing and voice over IP.
Orange Business Services has extensive experience in delivering
infrastructure and services to high-growth markets and provides
local support in 166 countries, including 28 African countries.
Orange Business Services’ satellite solution allows access to the
Orange IP VPN, covering more than 160 countries. Orange Business
Services has a fully-integrated terrestrial and satellite network
that not only provides a secure high level of availability, but
also flexibility so that changes can be made quickly and easily
whenever needed.
To connect Nordgold’s satellite stations – two in Burkina Faso
and one in Guinea – Orange’s satellite teleport in France was used,
coupled with a high-speed optical communication link with the
Russian Orange network and the customer’s infrastructure. The
implementation was supported by Orange Business Services experts
from the Middle East and Africa.
“Nordgold adopts best practices for managing business processes
at all its plants, and this also means daily interaction with the
company management,” said Sergey Zinkovich, CFO of Nordgold. “The
contract with Orange, a global provider of telecommunications
services, guaranteed us a prompt and reliable integration of
African units into Nordgold’s existing corporate
infrastructure.”
“Orange’s international expertise greatly contributed to the
successful implementation of the Nordgold project,” said Helmut
Reisinger, senior vice president, Orange Business Services Europe,
Russia & CIS. “The ability to implement trans-border projects
of any level of complexity is one of the key benefits of doing
business with Orange. We can help the growing number of companies
based in Russia enter overseas markets just as easily as we can
help international companies entering Russia, serving them with our
solid communications infrastructure in Russia. We see from the GDP
of Russia that Russian multinationals have a very successful track
record in going global. We can help MNCs wherever their business
takes them – including in Russia with our country-wide
infrastructure and service offerings.”
