Telecom Fiji’s nationwide deployment of optical fibre infrastructure is underway in Western Viti Levu as part of their investment into Fiji and Fijians.

Telecom CEO, Charles Goundar says Telecom teams are in Simla, Lautoka, laying out fibre lines.

He says Fiji’s essential services, communications and data networks all rely on Telecom’s fibre technology to function at high capacity and reliability.

Goundar says there is a need for companies to invest in the Fijian people.

He says Lautoka is a high demand area for services and they are currently deploying fibre here on route to ensuring all Fijians have access to the latest and fastest technology.

He adds soon they will be able to enjoy unprecedented internet speeds.

Goundar says with this new deployment, Fijians can expect fast speeds of up to 150 Megs per second, much less latency while streaming videos and faster downloads.
