Dhiraagu Celebrates 32nd Years of Telecommunication Services

Today, local telecom giant, Dhiraagu marks its 32^nd Anniversary. Dhiraagu commenced operations as a telecommunication services provider, in 1^st October 1988. They are the first telecommunications company incorporated and registered in Maldives, but not the first to provide the same service.  The term ‘Dhiraagu’ is an abbreviation of the Dhivehi term ‘Dhivehi Raajjeygé Gulhun’ roughly meaning link among Maldives in English.

Dhiraagu is a result of the joint venture between the Maldivian government and Cable & Wireless, a foreign telecommunication service provider existing in Maldives at that time. Later Dhiraagu was transformed into a public company in which Batelco, the principal telecommunications company in Bahrain, holds the majority sharse of the Company by 52%. Government of Maldives holds 41.8% shares of whereas the general public owns 6.2% of shares in the Company. In 2017, Dhiraagu underwent extensive rebranding and had introduced a new logo as well.

Currently, Dhiraagu provides a comprehensive range of a range of fixed, mobile, Internet and data services throughout the Maldives including installation, maintenance and repair services. They maintain one of the world’s longest fibre optic submarine cable network which supports the nation's largest 3G and 4G LTE and fixed broadband network over water to overcome the geographical barriers of Maldives as an archipelago, and effectively linking the country from north to south.

We congratulate Dhiraagu on this special occasion and wish them the best in all their future endeavors.
