In short, internet access in the Solomon Islands is a story of gradual improvement: from a starting point of patchy, dial-up-speed satellite connections, the country is now experiencing faster and more affordable service in urban areas, while working to extend those gains to rural communities.

Projects in the pipeline suggest that by the late 2020s, the vast majority of villages will have at least basic mobile internet, and many will have high-speed options via satellite or fiber links.
Over time, the country has seen a progression of satellite technologies, each improving capacity and latency: Geostationary Satellites: For many years, Solomon Islands relied on traditional GEO satellites (such as Intelsat beams) for all international and rural connectivity.
That is the promise of the internet in the Solomon Islands: knitting together a widely dispersed nation into a more connected, informed, and resilient community. The story of internet access in the Solomon Islands is one of overcoming isolation through innovation and partnership.
