Tuvalu Telecommunications Corporation (TTC) is expanding its national and international telecoms capacity under a contract with satellite services provider ABS. Satellite technology is utilised in Tuvalu not only for international communications but also for inter-island connectivity. Under a four-year upgrade plan, TTC is extending 4G mobile coverage to outer islands using ABS satellite links.
Tomalu Talu, Acting COO of TTC, commented: ‘Through the expansion plans with ABS, we are able to continue the support of critical communications on Tuvalu, ensuring that the necessary infrastructure is constantly available to support the needs of our population. An increase in satellite bandwidth is considered important at this point in time because it will help meet the rapid demand growth of ICT in the present Tuvalu market.’
