Tying Tuvalu Into Complete Satellite Connectivity Solutions Is Eutelsat

May 16, 2022

Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) and The Tuvalu Telecommunications Corporation (TTC) have signed a contract for capacity on the EUTELSAT 172B satellite to support the extension of corporate networks for government offices and key enterprises of the Tuvalu Islands.

Under the terms of this multi-year agreement, Tuvalu Telecommunications Corporation will be leveraging the unparalleled coverage of EUTELSAT 172B to fulfill its commitment to curb the digital divide in isolated areas. This agreement showcases — yet again — the full-fledged flagship role of satellite in providing a complete connectivity solution to end users.

Tuvalu Telecommunications Corporation (TTC), the sole provider of telecommunications in Tuvalu, is a state-owned enterprise that provides telecommunications and ICT services to subscribers on each of the islands and atolls of Tuvalu.

Christophe Cazes, Eutelsat’s Regional Vice President for the APAC region, said, “With this agreement, TTC will leverage the EUTELSAT 172B satellite to unlock corporate networks for government agencies and businesses on the islands. It exemplifies yet again how satellites today are an essential technology in ensuring governments, businesses and other institutions can meet their connectivity goals.”

Mrs. Tenanoia Simona, CEO of TTC, said, “Satellites are extremely well adapted to connect islands that are, by their very definition, cut-off and isolated from terrestrial networks. We are delighted to be able to work with Eutelsat to bring this much awaited connectivity service into our Islands, that will push the development of Tuvalu forward.”
