DOCOMO PACIFIC makes significant investment to improve mobile connectivity in the Marianas

Tamuning, Guam (February 09, 2023) – DOCOMO PACIFIC, the regional leader in innovation, telecommunications, & entertainment, completes multi-million dollar mobile network investment, enhancing the overall customer experience.

DOCOMO PACIFIC customers throughout the islands can experience faster mobile speeds, improved reliability, and greater coverage thanks to numerous network upgrades recently completed. This project fortifies 4G LTE connectivity which carries the majority of the mobile traffic on Guam and the CNMI.

“While we are focused on technology leadership and expanding our high speed 5G network, we continue to enhance our extensive 4G LTE network. The majority of mobile phone users have 4G LTE enabled phones and continue to connect using 4G LTE. These upgrades significantly improve the connection speeds, allowing us to maintain an excellent mobile experience while providing for the growing demands from data-heavy applications. The DOCOMO PACIFIC network uses multiple technologies aimed at providing you with a reliable network. We have an exciting roll-out of network services planned this year and fortifying the backbone of mobile connectivity within the Marianas was an essential step.”

ATISA made it possible for the people of the CNMI to experience the same world-class products and services already available to customers in Guam. DOCOMO PACIFIC invested over $16 million for the cable and an additional $9 million to modernize and expand the CNMI fixed and mobile networks to include 4G LTE.
