Dhiraagu Expands High-Speed Fibre Broadband to Every Inhabited Island in the Maldives

Dhiraagu has achieved a major milestone in the telecommunications sector with the completion of its high-speed fibre broadband network across the entire Maldives. The company announced that their fibre broadband service is now available to every inhabited island in the nation, marking a transformative moment for the country's digital future.

This achievement places Dhiraagu among the few companies globally to extend 100% fibre broadband coverage to its entire population. In fact, only a select number of developed nations have managed to achieve this level of nationwide broadband connectivity. The expansion is expected to have a significant impact on the Maldives’ socio-economic development, opening up new opportunities for individuals, businesses, and communities across the islands.

At a press conference held at the company’s headquarters, Dhiraagu CEO & Managing Director, Ismail Rasheed, celebrated the milestone, calling it an honour to be the first company in the Maldives to provide high-speed fibre broadband to all inhabited islands. He also took the opportunity to thank the company's customers for their ongoing support over the years.

Rasheed emphasized that the expansion of high-speed broadband is not just about faster internet; it's about empowering the Maldives' digital economy. With broadband being a key driver of digital services, this achievement strengthens the country’s digital infrastructure and supports the government's vision of a ‘smart nation.’ This progress is also aligned with the government’s goal of improving the quality and affordability of internet services nationwide.

As part of Dhiraagu’s ongoing commitment to digital transformation, Rasheed expressed gratitude to several key stakeholders, including the government, island councils, atoll councils, and Dhiraagu’s dedicated team. This collaboration was crucial in completing the extensive nationwide network.
With this expansion, Dhiraagu now boasts the largest and most extensive high-speed data network in the Maldives. The new fibre broadband coverage ensures that even remote island communities can access the benefits of high-speed internet, providing them with greater opportunities to thrive in the digital age. Dhiraagu’s vision of a fully connected "Digital Raajje" is now a reality, enhancing connectivity and digital inclusion for all.

For over three decades, Dhiraagu has been a pioneer in bringing innovative and reliable digital solutions to the Maldives, and this latest achievement is another step toward enriching lives and empowering communities through technology.
