The OPT-NC offers the best possible service in terms of access to very high-speed wireless internet (THD). 4G technology, which is at the heart of the wireless internet development strategy, enables New Caledonia to be on a par with ultra-connected countries and support the development of the digital economy on a local level.

As the fourth generation of the standard mobile technology, 4G enables the offering of better speeds and added value services.

The OPT-NC continues to roll out very high-speed wireless internet, meeting significant challenges in the process:

  • Increase the number of mobile sites to reduce the number of dead zones by extending its network beyond the 95 % of the population already covered.
  • Ensure better wireless speed by increasing network density in heavy traffic areas, by strengthening the 3 G network and rolling out 4G on 100 % of its sites by the end of 2021
  • Meet the needs of new digital uses (streaming, video on demand, ...).

The THD wireless program is a genuine technical challenge considering the size of the territory and of certain areas, particularly difficult to access  which present external issues in terms of electricity supply or engineering work.

Objectives at a Glance

  • Support access to very high-speed internet for all
  • Guarantee maximum 4 G coverage to individuals
  • Meet the needs of rapidly expanding digital uses, especially in terms of mobility
  • Contribute to equal opportunity by reducing the digital divide

The OPT-NC is continuing its commitment to deploy 4G, with an equipment target of 100% by the end of 2021. This was the case at the end of 2019 with 72,4% of the mobile fleet equipped with 4G. Almost 110 extensions remain to be completed by 2021  

Experiments will increase in the area of the Internet of Things. Therefore, the OPT-NC will acquire a network core dedicated to the management of relays and connected things.
