Internet Access in the Micronesian Region: Status, Challenges, and Outlook (2025)

Internet Access in the Micronesian Region: Status, Challenges, and Outlook (2025)

The Micronesian region comprises the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), Palau, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, and Kiribati. In 2010 the HANTRU-1 fiber cable reached Majuro and Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands, branching from Pohnpei to FSM, marking the region’s first international fiber backbone. Palau connected to the SEA-US cable in 2017 and is slated to receive a second Echo cable spur by 2025 to boost redundancy. The East Micronesia Cable (EMC) project began in 2022 and is on track for completion by late 2025, linking Nauru, Tarawa, and Kosrae via FSM’s Pohnpei hub. SpaceX Starlink became available in 2022–23, with

From Submarine Cables to Starlink: Marshall Islands Internet Connectivity in 2025

From Submarine Cables to Starlink: Marshall Islands Internet Connectivity in 2025

The HANTRU-1 cable is 2,917 km long with a 160 Gbps design capacity, extended to Majuro and Kwajalein/Ebeye in 2010, linking to a Pohnpei hub and onward to Guam. A 2017 HANTRU-1 cable fault caused a nationwide 3-week outage, forcing a 97% bandwidth cut as the islands relied on limited satellite links. The East Micronesia Cable (EMC) project, funded by Japan, Australia, and the US, connects Kosrae (FSM) and Tarawa (Kiribati) to Pohnpei and HANTRU-1, with completion expected around 2025–26 and improved resilience. The Central Pacific Cable (CPC) is a 15,900 km subsea link from Guam to American Samoa with

State of Internet Access in Palau: From Coral Reefs to Starlink

State of Internet Access in Palau: From Coral Reefs to Starlink

Until 2017 Palau relied entirely on satellite internet, with only about 25% of the population online. In 2017 Palau lit its first fiber link by connecting a spur into the trans-Pacific SEA-US cable, known as Palau Cable 1, near Guam, financed by a $25 million Asian Development Bank loan. Palau Cable 2 is under construction as part of the Echo transoceanic cable, linking Palau to the Google/Meta-led Echo network; activation is now expected in Q1 2025 with a landing station in Ngardmau State and funding from a Japan–Australia–United States trilateral partnership. Mid-2023 Palau experienced a week-long outage of its lone

China’s Secret Weapon Revealed: Inside the 2025 Stealth Carrier That Could Change Everything

China’s Secret Weapon Revealed: Inside the 2025 Stealth Carrier That Could Change Everything

China formally unveiled a stealth aircraft carrier program in 2025, highlighted by CCTV footage showing two J-35 prototypes in a Shenyang hangar and Fujian sea-trial progress. The Type 003 Fujian is the first Chinese carrier with electromagnetic catapults (EMALS), configured with three EMALS launchers, displacing about 80,000–85,000 tons and measuring roughly 318 meters. The J-35 stealth fighter is the program’s crown jewel, a twin-engine fifth-generation carrier jet designed for deck operations, with prototypes spotted in 2025 and intended for internal bays and AESA radar. The J-15T upgrade equips a CATOBAR-capable, WS-10 engine-powered variant with reinforced landing gear, a nose refueling

From Satellite Struggles to Starlink: Tuvalu’s Internet Revolution

From Satellite Struggles to Starlink: Tuvalu’s Internet Revolution

Overview: Current Internet Infrastructure and Access in Tuvalu Tuvalu is a Polynesian microstate of about 10,000 people spread across nine coral atolls. Until recently, its internet infrastructure consisted solely of satellite links – there were no subsea fiber cables, and even regional microwave links to neighbors were absent due to the vast ocean distances. All international and inter-island data traveled via satellite, terminating at earth stations in Funafuti (the capital island) and smaller VSAT terminals on outer islands en.wikipedia.org prepaid-data-sim-card.fandom.com. This satellite dependency made Tuvalu’s internet expensive, bandwidth-constrained, and prone to outages (e.g. in bad weather). For most of the

Starlink in Kiribati: 2025 Update on Coverage, Costs and the New Community Gateway

Kiribati, a nation of 33 low‑lying coral atolls spread over a vast swathe of the central Pacific, has long been one of the hardest places on Earth to connect to the internet. That is changing quickly. In 2025, Starlink moved from “grey‑market” satellite dishes on rooftops to an officially recognised national service, capped by the launch of a state‑backed Starlink Community Gateway in South Tarawa.
