FSM TC&I is very pleased with the new high capacity Internet as Mr. Edward Albert stated “…quite a significant improvement”. CEO Fredy Perman in his statement to Secretary Apis “This significant reduction in costs and massive pump to your Internet capacity is a result of FSMTC’s hard work and efforts to meet our public mandate to provide reliable and cost effective communications for the nation. As you are aware, we recently successfully completed a major upgrade in our submarine cable from Pohnpei to Guam, which now gives us increased fiber capacity in our Internet.  In fact, our submarine capacity from Pohnpei to Guam was originally designed for a total of 80 Gbps on all the wavelengths. FSMTC’s upgrade now gives us capacity up to 400 Gbps and potential to ramp up to 800 Gbps if allowed. It is fully our intention to make use of this increased capacity and pass on the benefits to our customers.”

 

FSMTC thanks the FSM Executive Branch and the FSM Congress for being its Gigabit customerson its premium fiber network. FSMTC will continue to work hard to bring lower cost Internet on its Fiber to the Home network to the public similar to what the FSM Government is now enjoying.
