Palau Telecoms has increased network capacity for the fourth time in 20 months, growing its service capacity by 70% over this period.

The company has tapped O3b to upgrade its network in order to support the unprecedented growth of data it has witnessed. Palau Telecoms is one of two private sector Internet Service Providers (ISPs) on the Island of Palau, a remote archipelago of more than 300 islands located South East of the Philippines in the Western Pacific Ocean.

Palau Telecoms launched O3b services in January 2015 and has since made four upgrades to meet customer demand in September 2015, December 2015, February 2016 and now in September 2016.

Sam Masang, CEO of Palau Telecoms, said: “This is our fourth bandwidth upgrade with O3b, whose high throughput, low latency connectivity has made it possible for us to grow our business.”

Imran Malik, VP of Asia Pacific & the Middle East for O3b Networks, added: “By increasing capacity for island nations such as Palau, we are closing the digital divide and opening up digital opportunities to the entire globe.”
