NAOERO has entered a new phase in its telecommunications development.
The East Micronesia Cable (EMC) connection between Naoero and Guam officially went live on June 24, the Naoero Fibre Cable Division of Cenpac Corporation said.
The launch marks a major milestone for the country’s communications infrastructure, as customers on the Naoero Fibre Cable Division network begin the transition from satellite-based services to the new submarine cable system.
The company said the rollout will start with its existing cable users and will extend over the coming weeks to nationwide mobile and home internet customers.
The new cable is expected to improve international connectivity and provide a more stable and resilient link to the global internet.
Unlike satellite services, which can be affected by rain, heavy cloud cover, and other weather conditions, submarine cables should reduce interruptions and performance drops for users.
Cenpac said network testing and optimisation will continue in the weeks ahead to further improve speed, stability and overall performance.
The company described the activation as an important step toward more dependable digital access for households, businesses and mobile users across Naoero.
