Authorities expect economic benefits from reduced dependence on offshore services that cost the nation millions annually, while high-performance computing capabilities will enable researchers to develop artificial intelligence applications for agriculture, healthcare and climate adaptation. The government is pursuing third and fourth submarine cable connections alongside expanded land routes through neighboring countries to strengthen network resilience beyond the current limited pathways.
Starlink satellite internet will extend connectivity to hill regions, coastal islands and remote river settlements where conventional broadband remains unavailable, supporting telemedicine, digital education and disaster response systems that advance rural inclusion efforts.
