The successful system completion will significantly advance the island's existing high-cost, low bandwidth satellite based communications system and further facilitate Rodrigues' booming tourism industry.

Huawei Marine is honored to partner with PCCW Global to improve network connectivity and the end-user experience on Rodrigues Island.
