Digicel Vanuatu has signed its fifth undertaking to extend its mobile network coverage to an estimated 99% of the country’s population, in line with its Universal Access Policy (UAP) commitments.
This new pledge underscores the telco’s dedication to overcoming the country's geographical challenges, as Vanuatu consists of over 80 islands spread across approximately 1,300km. According to ITU data, 4G coverage in Vanuatu reached 90% by the end of 2023.
Beyond expanding coverage, the project will also enhance access to Digicel’s MyCash mobile wallet, e-learning platforms, e-health initiatives, and digital financial services — aimed at unconnected and under-resourced communities.
“This is a significant step toward ensuring nearly everyone in the country can benefit from mobile connectivity. By extending core services, we can support economic growth, improve healthcare, expand educational opportunities, and promote financial inclusion for thousands of Ni-Vanuatu,” said Gary Sue-Fong, CEO of Digicel Vanuatu.
