  • Papua New Guinea Telecommunications Fiber Optic Network

    Papua New Guinea Telecommunications Fiber Optic Network

    A total of 12,000 km of fibre-optic cables has been laid to date as part of PNG's broadband network, the National Transmission Network (NTN), which PNG DataCo – the state-owned telecommunications wholesaler – owns and manages. DataCo operates and maintains an extensive network of over 12,000km of fiber optic cable both internationally and locally. In addition, DataCo manages three tied data centers and 51 satellite infrastructures throughout Papua New Guinea (PNG). From high-speed internet rollouts in urban centers to connectivity solutions in rural and remote areas, Cetelnet provides. Papua New Guinea's internet system continues to rely heavily on fibre optic cables, despite the growing presence of satellite-based services across the country, according to PNG DataCo. It directly connects Port Moresby in PNG and Honiara in the Solomon Islands to the global internet hub of Sydney Australia.
