High speed internet cable lands on Wallis [fr]

With the support of the State, the European Union and the Agence Française de Développement (French Development Agency), this 1600 kilometre long cable, linking several Pacific archipelagos, will allow Wallis and Futuna to enjoy a high-speed internet connection from next spring.
A similar operation is expected on Futuna in coming days.

Annick Girardin applauds an historic event which will enable real digital integration for the citizens of Wallis and Futuna, with direct consequences for administration of the archipelago in the fields of telemedicine, distance learning, online administration and the local economy.
