Spidersat, a wholly owned subsidiary of ITC Global, announced that it has entered into a long-term agreement with BIA Overseas, a wholly owned subsidiary of BIA Group.

Under the contract, Spidersat will provide and support a fully managed, custom designed and built network to BIA’s Outils de Gestion et Societes Africaines mining project, which will entail network connectivity for 17 sites in 13 countries throughout Africa. As a result of Spidersat’s custom network design, the African mining sites of BIA will enjoy carrier-grade Internet, email, and voice connectivity and be able to access corporate Enterprise Resource Systems (ERP) and other key business applications physically located at a central corporate location in Europe.

“BIA is excited to continue our partnership with Spidersat,” said Francois Melin, business controller at BIA Group. “Spidersat’s extensive African presence and sophisticated and highly effective solution differentiated itself from proposals from other vendors, and gave us confidence that Spidersat’s solutions would work effortlessly in the remote locations and harsh environments where we operate.”
