The Naoero Fibre Cable Division of Cenpac Corporation is pleased to announce that the East Micronesia Cable (EMC) connection between Naoero and Guam officially went live, 24 June, marking a major milestone in the country’s telecommunications infrastructure development.
With connectivity now successfully established, customers connected to the Naoero Fibre Cable Division network will begin transitioning from existing satellite-based services to the new submarine cable network from today. During the course of the next few weeks, this is also expected to rollout to the nationwide mobile and home internet users too.
The activation of the East Micronesia Cable represents a significant step forward in enhancing Naoero’s international connectivity, providing a more reliable and resilient communications pathway to the global internet.
While network optimisation and testing activities will continue over the coming weeks to further improve speed, performance, and stability, customers are expected to experience immediate benefits from the transition. In particular, users on the Naoero Fibre Cable Division network should no longer encounter internet outages or performance degradation caused by rain, heavy cloud cover, or other weather-related conditions that can affect satellite communications.
The Naoero Fibre Cable Division appreciates the patience and support of customers throughout this historic project and looks forward to delivering progressively improved services as testing and network tuning continue.
Further updates will be provided as the transition progresses.
