Around 50% of Fiji’s population will now have access to Pre 5G services.

This as Vodafone Fiji is working on upgrading their network.

While providing the update on $207m capital investment in its network infrastructure, Vodafone’s Regional Chief Executive Pradeep Lal says there’s been significant progress on the upgrade since the announcement in August last year.

“All our equipment, hardware, towers, batteries, and the billing system has arrived into the country. We have engaged multiple local vendors including vendors from offshore to fast-track the rollout of this program.”

Lal says work is also progressing at Vodafone’s two main data centers to ensure all core network components are upgraded.
