Hawaii on track to become first state in the country to be fully fiber enabled
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Hawaiian Telcom and Gov. Josh Green announced Friday that Hawaii is making big strides to bring reliable, affordable high speed internet access to all islands and rural communities.
“Currently, 60% of Hawaio has access to reliable, high-speed fiber; the remaining 40% of the state will be completed over next two years,” said Jason Thune, Vice President of Fiber Strategy & Deployment for Hawaiian Telcom.
When complete, the achievement will make Hawaii the first state in the nation to be fully fiber enabled.
“Reliable, fast digital connectivity is becoming increasingly important for families, businesses, and government agencies. Through a combination of private and public investment, a statewide fiber network will become a reality and serve as the catalyst to transform communities across the islands,” said Su Shin, President of Hawaiian Telcom.
Hawaiian Telcom says it’s always looking for qualified candidates to complete the task.
