AUSTRALIA based telecommunications company Fibre Network Engineering (FNE) Communications has invested $1.7 million to boost Fiji’s telecommunication sector. The company set up its operations in Fiji to tap into Fiji’s potential for a better telecommunication infrastructure in March this year.
With a little over six months into the commencement of its operations, managing director Greg Ingram plans to expand the services to other parts of the country.
“I knew that the specific knowledge and expertise that Fibre Network Engineering provides and executes in Australia would be beneficial in Fiji, for both the introduction of new technologies as well as building on opportunities for company growth,” he said.
“Through our investment, we foresee an increasing number of employment opportunities and further improvement into Fiji’s ICT (Information Communication Technology) infrastructure, which I believe is a win-win situation for both,” he added.
“Our long-term plan is to have at least three points of presence around Fiji.”
The company has also recently imported a horizontal directional drilling (HDD) machine which is used to install underground utilities to improve the quality of telecommunications groundwork around the country.
Investment Fiji chief executive officer Kamal Chetty highlighted that FNE Communications brings a lot of value to Fiji and holds enormous potential in paving the way forward for Fiji’s telecommunications sector.
