Lynk Global and Vodafone Kiribati have announced the start of initial satellite direct-to-mobile phone services to subscribers using Lynk’s ‘cell-towers-in-space’ system.

Kiribati is an island country in Micronesia in the central Pacific Ocean with a population of 131,232.

Vodafone Kiribati has made significant investments in expanding its network coverage across the islands of the country. The deployment of both 3G and 4G towers has enhanced connectivity and played a crucial role in improving communication and internet services for both urban and remote areas.

The partnership with Lynk will allows Vodafone Kiribati to extend its geographic mobile coverage with the eventual aim of expanding this coverage to the entire nation. With extended mobile coverage, individuals can access emergency services, stay connected with loved ones, and receive vital information.
