Fiji’s Ministry of Trade, Co-operatives, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, and Communications has officially issued 5G spectrum licenses to the country’s three leading mobile operators: Vodafone Fiji, Digicel Fiji, and Telecom Fiji. The licenses will come into effect on 15 September 2025, with the full 5G rollout expected to unfold gradually over three phases between 2025 and 2028.

The first phase, set for 2025, will focus on four key urban centres — including the capital, Suva — known for their dense populations, business activity, and tourism, as well as existing infrastructure like fibre and reliable power. Expansion into additional areas will occur during the second phase in 2026, followed by further extension in 2027 and beyond.

Ufone 4G has announced a partnership with domestic digital healthcare platform Oladoc, aiming to provide affordable and accessible medical services to millions of its subscribers nationwide.

The collaboration seeks to address the healthcare access gap between urban and rural areas in Pakistan, where most doctors are concentrated in cities despite over 60% of the population living in remote regions. Primary healthcare facilities in these underserved areas are often under-resourced, leading many families to undertake long journeys for basic medical needs.
