Mr De Silva said they have already completed 30 per cent of this project and planning to complete it before end of this quarter.

“Fibre Optic Technologies will revolutionise the Telecommunication landscape of Fiji, providing reliable and premium connectivity,” he said.

“This will greatly enhance our customer experience.

“With this platform, we can offer unmatched HDTV experience and the fastest internet download and upload speeds.”

According to Mr De Silva, once completed Fiji’ s telecom infrastructure will be placed on par with the developed nations in Pacific.

“TFL 4G+ is highly suitable for indoor use where the penetrative effect of signals are high,” said Mr De Silva.
