About Us

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).

What is the Digital FSM Project?

Initiated and led by FSMTCC and the Telecommunications Regulation Authority (TRA), the Digital FSM Project stands as a comprehensive telecommunication reform effort with a pivotal mission:
To enhance the availability and accessibility of faster and more reliable ICT services for the people of FSM.

At its core, this transformative project is bringing a fiber optic cable network to all four states of FSM. This substantial infrastructure upgrade ensures not only higher speed but also more reliable internet services for the people of FSM, marking a significant leap forward in the realm of digital connectivity.

Another integral aspect of the Digital FSM Project is the progressive opening up of the FSM telecommunications market. This strategic move is designed to encourage the entry of new telecommunications operators, fostering healthy competition and broadening the spectrum of services available to our people.

As the Digital FSM Project unfolds, it shapes a future where advanced telecommunications infrastructure not only benefits individuals across FSM but also welcomes diverse operators to contribute to the nation’s digital evolution.
