Transforming Connectivity
We are the Federated States of Micronesia’s fiber optic cable company that connects Chuuk, Pohnpei, Yap and Kosrae to the internet.
On behalf of the FSM government, we own the cables for and are responsible for installing and maintaining the fiber network.
Digital FSM Project
Working under the government and initially funded by the World Bank, we are now supported by bi-lateral aid between FSM and the governments of Australia, Japan, and the USA. Our goal is to introduce ultra-high-speed internet in order to help develop FSM’s economy. As an FSM government corporation, our shareholders are the Government of FSM through the Department of Transportation, Communications & Infrastructure (DTC&I) and the Department of Finance and Administration (DOFA).
