1 IT in the Pacific Islands region & New Caledonia

2 IT in the PICTs Overall population: 8,000,000 islanders Domestic field: heterogeneity in customer bandwidth, ranges of services, infrastructures used, penetration rate, and somewhat in standards used Mobile standard: GSM taking over AMPS (Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Cook Islands ) International field: a unique & universal means: satellite (except Fiji)

3 Mobile networks in the PICTs Analog networks still in: Cook Isl., Mariana, Palau, Niue, Kiribati, Solomon Isl. TDMA in: Mariana GSM in: New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, American Samoa, Solomon Isl., FSM Forecasted launches: Dec : GSM in Cook Isl. & Tuvalu Q1, 2004: GSM in Kiribati Dec : GSM in Palau

4 IT in New Caledonia

5 General overview: 1 main island («la Grande Terre») & 4 secondary islands (Maré, Lifou, Ouvéa, the Isle of Pines)

6 The main island: 5 key figures: Length: about 400 km Width: about 50 km Surface area: about 20,000 sq kms Population: about 200,000 people Density: about 10 persons/sq km

7 Main island: facts A mountainous country Plains along the western coasts Valleys opening on the eastern coast 1 city: Nouméa & suburbs (120,000 inhabitants = 60 p. cent of NC overall population) Over 30 villages Remainder of population: scattered in rural areas

8 Secondary islands: facts Most: coral islands Moderately hilly (low plateaux in Maré & Lifou) Small & scattered populations (about 20,000 in all) Rural & modern lifestyles side by side

9 Telecommunications: actors Domestic telecommunications: a single operator: the Office des Postes & Télécommunications (OPT-NC) International telephony: a subsidiary of France Telecom: France Câble & Radio (FCR)

10 Domestic telecommunications: services Fixed telephony ( 51,000 subscribers) More than 1,000 public phone boothes (1 = VSAT) Mobile telephony: currently GSM/G2 [see details below] // Certainly GPRS soon Internet: 17,000 users (among whom 10 p. cent ADSL subscribers) [see details below]

11 Telecommunications: solutions used Domestic uses: several types of information carriers (fibre optic, radio links) high capacities Standards of network: PDH, SDH, ISDN, IN, GSM 2G, ADSL External uses: only one medium currently in use: satellite, notably 2 links: 1 to PanAmSat s U.S. PoP 1 to Teleglobe s Canadian PoP

12 External telecommunications: satellite 1 dedicated international leased line (ILL): Customer: Goro Nickel (mining company/ INCO subsidiary) - 1 link Goro (NC) Brisbane (Australia) 1 project thus supported: nickel mining in South of New Caledonia s main island 2 public purpose ILLs: 1 link dedicated to Internet global connectivity (C Band) 1 link dedicated to VSAT service (Ku Band)

13 Domestic telecommunications: transport network An optic tranport system on the main island South to North on the West coast (Koné reached & should be in service by end of year 2003) West coast to East coast (should be in service between Koné & Poindimié by beginning of year 2005) Optic segments in coral islands: currently existing in Maré; service in Lifou forecasted for 2004

14 Domestic telecommunications: radio link systems T o d a y : Terrestrial transport system mainly hertzian About 2,700 km of radio links Through sea channels as well (Main island secondary ones: an average crossing of 150 km) T o m o r r o w : maintaining of radio link systems for support purpose (redundancy with main fibre optic network portions)

15 Domestic telecommunications: radio link systems Local loop uses in really remote areas (fixed GSM/DECT technologies): for public telephone booths & at private particulars

16 Domestic telecommunications: VSAT A solution for rural & remote areas; first and only use to date: Petit Borendi settlement [Eastern Coast] from September 12 th, 2003

17 Domestic telecommunications: copper wire Transport lines (burried): > 700 km long Traditional local loop use Last move towards an optimization of copper wire: launch of ADSL service on July 1 st, 2001

18 Domestic telecommunications: mobility Currently: a GSM, 900 Mhz network Effective since year transmitting stations covering all densely inhabited areas Number of users (Nov. 2003): 94,000 Postpaid users: 22,000/steady growth Prepaid service users: 72,000/quickly growing

19 Domestic telecommunications: mobility In a near future: a GPRS network Implementation: 2004/2005?

20 External telecommunications: satellite A secondary operator: the OPT-NC itself Means: 5 antennas, OPT s property (4 in New Caledonia/1 in Brisbane, Australia) Contractual relations with 2 international satellite operators (PanAmSat & Intelsat)

21 External telecommunications: tomorrow, a connection to a submarine cable network? Interest: enormous depending on Internet traffic bulk of traffic enabled opportunity for traffic to grow possibility to secure cable communications by maintaining satellite links several schemes considered

22 Roaming: New Caledonia s partnerships 15 GSM fellow operators throughout 12 countries: Metropolitan France: 3 Australia: 2 New Zealand: 1 United Kingdom: 1 Hong Kong: 1 French Polynesia: 1 Switzerland: 1 Liechenstein: 1 Italy: 1 Spain: 1 Vanuatu: 1 Fidji: 1 (temporarily unilateral)

23 Roaming: New Caledonia s partnerships Negotiations with others currently running including 2 Japanese operators General idea: getting as roaming partners: South Pacific countries GSM operators Operators from countries experiencing bulky human exchanges with New Caledonia Metropolitan France s surrounding countries

24 Internet Traditional Internet access available almost everywhere (where telephone lines available) But high-speed Internet (ADSL) still cantoned: availability depends on fibre optic network [see below]

25 Internet 4 private ISPs [3 providing ADSL service], + 1 governmental All Internet services: hosting, analog & ISDN access, leased lines, high-speed connections (ADSL) Some education entities (secundary & higher courses, & research) connected to french international education & research network RENATER

26 Internet An overall 17,000 Internet users 90 p. cent PSTN accesses 10 p. cent ADSL accesses: data rates available ranging from 256 Kbps to 4,000 Kbps Under way: implementation of an multigovernment Internet awareness programme 10 primary schools from all over New Caledonia connected in school year 2003
