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.
