Does Maldives need a 5G network?While Maldives has made substantial progress with mobile penetration and coverage – with fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) coverage of 87 percent and mobile market penetration of 125 percent, and the first in South Asia to launch 5G connectivity – there is a need to improve quality, reliability, and affordability.
Why is connectivity so important in the Maldives?As a country with dispersed geography – with 1,200 scattered small islands and only 187 of them being inhabited – affordable connectivity such as mobile and internet is critical for communications as well as delivery of services in the Maldives. But, when the ocean makes up 99 percent of the country, connectivity undoubtedly becomes a challenge.
Does Maldives have international connectivity?International connectivity is a key element of Maldives’ digital infrastructure, but there is currently limited connectivity to major international cable systems. The existing network connects to Sri Lanka and India with reliance on other service providers for onward connectivity.
Why should Maldives invest in a digital economy?“With the Maldives’ small size and dispersed population, the digital economy is a top priority for the country to diversify its key economic drivers of growth,” said Hector Gomez Ang, IFC's Regional Director for South Asia.
Is Maldives a young country?The Maldives has a young population, and as you stroll along the paved streets of its capital Malé, the energy and vibrancy of the youth is evident – young Maldivians on their mobile phones is a common sig
