Group's activities


Telecom Vanuatu Limited (TVL), a fixed, mobile and internet operator, is equally- and jointly-owned by France Telecom (FCR) and the Cable & Wireless group.
 
The mobile market is shared by TVL and Digicel, which entered the market in June 2008, and whose license was also extended to fixed telephony. Digicel focuses on the business market, to which it sells SIM Boxes. At the end of 2008, seven new internet licenses were granted to niche operators, which will concentrate on WiFi and VoIP in the capital. In this context, TVL will launch new offers to maintain its place as number one on the internet market.
TVL’s main strategic areas are service quality, infrastructure construction (backbone network, switches) and developing mobile coverage.

Fixed-line services are offered across the entire island chain, through fiber, copper, or IRT radio bundles. 2G mobile technology is being rolled out across the country. ADSL and WiMax Internet are available on the two main islands (Efate and Santo).
In 2010, internet service quality will be improved through the introduction of DSLAM.

For geographic reasons (the island chain is 1,500 km long with more than 80 main islands and several smaller ones), the distribution network is concentrated in cities and towns where most stores carry TVL products and where there are teams of traveling salespeople.
