Fiji is one of the first nations in the South Pacific to allocate frequencies on the radio spectrum for 4G LTE communications.
This was revealed at the 6th annual Asia Pacific Telecommunity (APT) Policy and Regulation Forum, held at the Novotel in Nadi this week.
“Fiji is the second Pacific island nation to allocate frequencies in the 700 MHz range for 4G, behind Papua New Guinea, and the first to do so by open auction, ahead of even New Zealand,” said Attorney-General and Minister for Communications, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.
The A-G explained that Fiji’s recent auction of 4G spectrum was in line with the APT’s 700MHz Band Plan, which was endorsed this week by the forum.
“While Fiji has already implemented this Band Plan, the forum’s endorsement today marks a significant step forward for the region,” the A-G said
