We connect countries across the Pacific ocean by providing future-proof capacity and direct access between major markets.

Hawaiki is a 15,000 km fibre optic cable connecting Australia, New Zealand, American Samoa, Hawaii and Continental United States since 2018. It is the fastest link between Australasia and the USA, and a key enabler for the development of Pacific Islands’ connectivity.

The branch to Tonga is under construction and will be ready for service by the end of 2025, and branching units are already in place to connect New Caledonia and Fiji.
