Hawaii's Digital Future: Major Fiber Link Project Advances with Global Partners

Ocean Networks partners with Prysmian & IT International Telecom for Hawaii's HIFL submarine cable project, enhancing inter-island broadband connectivity and digital infrastructure across the islands.

This project addresses critical infrastructure gaps that have long plagued Hawaii's digital connectivity, where geographical isolation has historically resulted in higher internet costs, slower speeds, and limited reliability compared to mainland standards. For residents, improved broadband access means better opportunities for remote work, enhanced educational resources, and improved access to telehealth services. For businesses, it supports economic growth, enables competitive operations, and attracts digital industries to the islands. The carrier-neutral, open-access design ensures multiple service providers can utilize the infrastructure, promoting competition and potentially lowering costs for consumers while future-proofing Hawaii's digital economy for decades to come.
