Digicel Samoa today announced that over the past 18 months it has invested more than WST$22 million on its network.

The investment has included the deployment of additional mobile towers and network enhancements designed to strengthen coverage, capacity and reliability across Upolu and Savaii. It has also included increased fibre connectivity across key network sites, core network upgrades, and expanded backup power capability. Together, these enhancements have strengthened Digicel Samoa's network to support growing customer demand for voice and data services across Samoa.

From supporting communication in remote villages to enabling online learning, business operations and access to information, digital connectivity continues to play an important role in everyday life across Samoa. The improved connectivity across Samoa enables people and businesses to stay connected to family, customers and communities.

Karl Vizvary, CEO of Digicel Samoa, said: “Over the past 18 months, we have made significant investments to help deliver a stronger, resilient network and a better experience for our customers. Our focus remains on ensuring customers across Samoa have access to reliable connectivity that supports their everyday lives, businesses and communities.”

These network enhancements, together with the rollout of alternative power systems across the network, will support service quality, signal availability, call performance and network resilience, helping customers stay connected during periods of peak demand, power disruptions and weather-related events.
