Palau Telecoms Signs Agreement with O3b Networks for Fourth Upgrade in 20 Months of Operation
Additional Capacity Needed to Support Growing Demand for High-Speed Data in Palau
Palau Telecoms is one of two private sector Internet Service Providers (ISPs) on the Island of Palau, a remote archipelago of more than 300 islands located South East of the Philippines in the Western Pacific Ocean.
Palau Telecoms launched O3b services in January 2015 and has since made four upgrades to meet customer demand in September 2015, December 2015, February 2016 and now in September 2016.
“O3b Services continue to empower the citizens of Palau to push the limits when it comes to education, business, tourism and social interactions on the islands,” said Sam Masang, CEO of Palau Telecoms. “This is our fourth bandwidth upgrade with O3b, whose high throughput, low latency connectivity has made it possible for us to grow our business.”
“O3b is excited to provide Palau Telecoms with this upgrade to support the developing needs of its customers,” said Imran Malik, VP of Asia Pacific & the Middle East for O3b Networks. “By increasing capacity for island nations such as Palau, we are closing the digital divide and opening up digital opportunities to the entire globe.”
