With its expertise in telecommunication technologies, Blue Arcus gears up to help Tuvalu become a more digitized nation with the latter seeing no borders in communicating to the rest of the world.

Naren Yanamadala, CEO of Blue Arcus said “Blue Arcus is honored to be tapped for this project to provide better telecommunication services in the country. We are excited to start with the project and we commit ourselves fully to the implementation of Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology in Tuvalu”

Upgrades for the current 3G system to the new 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology is now in full throttle as TTC aims to have the LTE mobile service up and running on Funafuti by early 2017.
