The Company
Fiji International Telecommunications Limited (FINTEL) is a Private Company, licensed by Government to provide Fiji's international telecommunications services. The Company, formed in December 1976, is jointly owned by the Government of Fiji (51%) and Cable and Wireless PLC of UK (49%).
FINTEL operates a submarine optic fibre cable terminal and a satellite earth station at Vatuwaqa, Suva. A combination of these two alternative, though complementary facilities provides Fiji with both adequate capacity and reliability through diversity of routes.

As Fiji's only licensed international carrier, FINTEL links the Fiji public to the International Network through an agreement with Telecom Fiji Limited, which owns and operates the national network.
FINTEL administrative headquarters is located at Mercury House, Victoria Parade, Suva with all the engineering facilities being located at the Vatuwaqa Communications Centre in Rifle Range Road, Vatuwaqa on the outskirts of Suva.
