[islands business] High speed internet in French Polynesia is now a reality with the launch last month of the much-awaited Honotua cable.
The cable provides direct international connectivity from French Polynesia to Hawaii and domestic links to Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea and Bora-Bora.
“This is the first step for providing French Polynesia with broadband services not only for the main populated islands but also to remote communities using satellite technologies,” said Maui Sanford, International Relations manager for the telecom company OPT French Polynesia.
The project, by OPT French Polynesia, started in December 2007 and costs US$110 million.
According to Alcatel-Lucent, the company that built the cable, Honotua has an ultimate capacity of 32 x10 Gbit/s.
