The Solomon Islands National Broadband Infrastructure Project (SINBIP) successfully launched 3 towers in Western and Choiseul Provinces.
SINBIP in a statement yesterday said these sites, Tuzu (R19) in Choiseul Province, and Boro (M23) and Karaka (R24) in Western Province, will significantly enhance internet connectivity for the Choiseul and Vella Lavella regions.
The statement said the new sites are utilizing RuralStar RAN technology, pure solar hybrid power systems, and microwave backhaul links; ensuring a reliable and sustainable operation.
With these three new sites now on-air, SINBIP’s network has expanded to a total of 68 operational sites, bringing reliable internet access to more communities across the country.
“The completion of these sites marks a significant step forward in SINBIP’s ongoing mission to bridge the digital divide, improve communication services, and create a brighter, more connected future for all Solomon Islanders,” said SINBIP.
Despite the challenging rainy season, SINBIP will continue to carry out commissioning work to connect more regions as quickly as possible.
SINBIP said China Harbour Engineering Company Limited (CHEC) and Huawei remain dedicated to delivering high-quality infrastructure that supports the nation’s development goals.
