Connecting Remote Islands

Connecting Remote Islands

Thousands of small, hard-to-reach islands are in need of affordable telecommunication services. These are islands with small population, no or unreliable electrical grid, huge infrastructure limitations and low levels of income.

Major Bottlenecks:

The major challenges by any service provider to reach these remote islands for mobile communication services are:
  • Limited size – 2,000 or less inhabitants
  • Low income group
  • Geographical dislocation
  • Proneness to natural hazards
  • No or unreliable grid electricity
  • Limited infrastructure
