Four additional towers constructed by China Harbour Engineering Company Ltd, and Huawei through the Solomon Islands National Broadband Infrastructure Project (SINBIP) under the Ministry of Communication and Aviation(MCA) and Solomon Islands Tower Company Ltd(STL) is now operational.
The project is supported by the People’s Republic of China.
The successful commissioned of the four additional sites has brought the total number of operational sites to 104.
Among the newly activated sites, three are located in Makira Province, including B177 (Naramae), M178 (Laloasi), and Mwadopulu.
The fourth site, Marumbo, is located in Guadalcanal Province.
These new sites further enhance network coverage and improve connectivity for local communities.
With the commissioning of these sites, residents in the surrounding areas will benefit from more reliable communication services, enabling improved access to information, digital services and economic opportunities.
To date, a total of 104 sites have been successfully brought on air, marking another important milestone in the project’s implementation.
The SINBIP project continues to make steady progress toward nationwide network coverage, with ongoing efforts to deliver inclusive and sustainable digital infrastructure throughout Solomon Islands.
The project team remains committed to advancing construction and ensuring the timely completion of the remaining works.
