Digicel Fiji celebrates 16 years of connecting Fiji
Digicel Fiji is celebrating its 16th anniversary in Fiji, and is offering community grants and launching an Epic Sweet 16 birthday giveaway to mark the occasion. Since its launch in 2008, Digicel Fiji has transformed the country’s telecommunications landscape, bringing affordable, reliable and high-quality services to Fijians.
The company’s market entry marked a significant milestone, breaking the monopoly, slashing call rates and boosting mobile penetration.
Digicel Fiji CEO, Farid Mohammed, said; “If Digicel Fiji had not entered the market, Fijians would be paying exorbitant rates for telecommunications services. We have been able to offer affordable rates and innovative services that have benefitted individuals, businesses and the country. For 16 years, we’ve been the communities trusted partner, delivering exceptional value, service and network. Thank you for your continued support.”
Digicel Fiji has consistently invested in its network infrastructure to provide Fijians with access to reliable connectivity with total investments close to FJD$0.5 billion. As Digicel Fiji celebrates its 16th anniversary, the company remains committed to providing exceptional service and supporting the growth and development of Fiji.
Today, over 90% of Fijians can enjoy the coverage of Digicel Fiji’s network. Digicel Fiji has expanded network coverage significantly, reaching previously underserved areas like Natewa, Rabi, the Lau Group and Lomaiviti. Notably, Digicel Fiji was the first to offer coverage in Cicia, Moala and Rotuma.
To boost connectivity further, Digicel Fiji invested in a fibre network in Suva and deployed community satellite Wi-Fi in Namosi, Bua and Lau. This has connected previously isolated communities, bridging the digital divide and improving access to information and services.
Over the years, Digicel Fiji has been a major community supporter, sponsoring Fiji Rugby 7s, Digicel Cup National Provincial Rugby Championship, Fiji Netball, Special Olympics Fiji and the Fiji Football Association. The company has also backed initiatives like Diabetes Fiji, WOWS Kids Fiji and others.
Digicel Fiji is committed to social responsibility and believes in empowering Fijian communities. The company is offering $48,000 in community grants for this birthday celebration. There will be 3 x $16,000 grants and you can visit www.digicelfiji.com to learn about the grants and file your application.
