Each island in Tuvalu relies on TTC for the use of a satellite dish for inter-island telephone communication and internet access.

In June 2014, TTC signed a five-year agreement with Kacific Broadband Satellites for the supply of high speed bandwidth to the islands of Tuvalu.

Kacific would provide TTC with increasing levels of capacity over the 5-year period, starting with 80 Mbit/s and up to 150 Mbit/s after four years.

The project will also support investments in an international optical fiber submarine cable to provide faster, lower-cost internet bandwidth.

The project will include reforms of the TTC to redevelop the government-run entity as a public-private partnership (PPP) in cooperation with an experienced international telecommunications operator, which will be selected using a competitive process.
