Cable: The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI)

The Republic of the Marshall Islands is integrated into the Central Pacific Cable (CPC) regional submarine architecture through branching unit infrastructure. CPC supports phased fiber implementation aligned with national infrastructure planning, strengthening the RMI’s international bandwidth capacity and long-term routing flexibility within a coordinated regional framework.

This integration reinforces RMI’s position within a broader Indo-Pacific submarine system designed for scalable, durable international connectivity.
