We’re proud to work with the Government of Timor-Leste to deliver faster, cheaper and more reliable internet connectivity to communities.
The AIFFP is providing advisory support to three stages of the project, which the Government of Timor-Leste is funding and delivering. This includes development of a Front End Engineering Design to scope cable design and route options and technical and engineering requirements; procurement support to source a turnkey marine vendor; and support for the design and procurement of the project’s landing infrastructure.
Advisory support
to three sequential contracts
Our support to the project has evolved over time to be responsive to the needs and requests of the Government of Timor-Leste, with the project supporting the strengthening of Australia and Timor-Leste’s partnership.
With Timor-Leste one of the few remaining countries not connected to an international submarine telecommunications cable, the project will enable ICT-driven economic growth and development.
The completed cable will enable greater connections between people, business and government across Timor-Leste and the wider Pacific.
Our financing package includes a grant of AUD7.2 million to provide advisory support to the Government of Timor-Leste.
