Connecting Vanuatu Internationally for 10 years

The Interchange Group is a Vanuatu-based consortium with the largest shareholder, the Vanuatu National Provident Fund (VNPF) and other government entities giving the Vanuatu Government 62% ownership. Interchange built Vanuatu’s only subsea cable in 2014, connecting Port Vila to Suva, Fiji, linking Vanuatu with global communications. The cable changed the face of ICT in Vanuatu by reducing the cost of bandwidth by more than 95 per cent and increasing usage exponentially year after year.

Interchange is a leader in digital transformation and supplier of wholesale telecommunications infrastructure, servicing all licensed telecommunication operators in Vanuatu both nationally and internationally. We are a key player in implementing the National Broadband Strategy and are committed to providing nation-building telecommunications technologies and infrastructure to all communities throughout Vanuatu.

Interchange provides Vanuatu with a game-changing opportunity to diversify the country’s economy. In addition to having a robust, fast and reliable connection, Vanuatu is strategically placed in the Asia-Pacific region, offering multi-lingual services, lower tax rates than neighbouring countries, and a high level of cyber security, with protection guaranteed by the Cybercrime Act and the Data Protection Act. 

All of these factors ensure that Interchange can continue to connect, collaborate and communicate with strategic partners and help support government services across the islands.
