In May 2025, the Cable Connectivity and Resilience Centre supported a study tour to the Solomon Islands Submarine Cable Company (SISCC) for representatives from Nauru Fibre Cable (NFC) and Tuvalu Telecommunications Corporation (TTC).
Both Nauru and Tuvalu landed their first international cables this year. The tour provided an opportunity to learn how SISCC successfully manages the Coral Sea Cable System and the Solomon Islands Domestic Network.
SISCC conducted a tour of the cable landing station and guided participants through day-to-day operations and infrastructure management, including monitoring systems, maintenance practices, and measures to support cable protection.
This was a valuable opportunity to share experiences and knowledge across the Pacific on the development, management, and protection of undersea cables.
The visit came at a good time, with both NFC and TTC preparing to operationalise their first international cable systems.
A big thank you to SISCC for hosting and facilitating this successful visit.
