WanTok Network Announces Acquisition of Telsat Broadband

Port Vila, Vanuatu: WanTok Network has entered into a sale and purchase agreement to acquire Telsat Broadband.

Operating across Vanuatu, Telsat Broadband opened for business in 2009, building upon its expertise in wireless transmissions networks, with its Wireless ISP first providing connectivity via mesh network infrastructure and later moving to a new platform which allowed for the establishment of a carrier-grade IP backbone as well as a mobile device hot-spot/repeater network. According to the Chief Executive and owner Rod Smith he had a vision of providing flexible and easy access to the Internet with the use of WiFi combined with Wireless Broadband services for its customers. However, as he approaches retirement, he was searching for a good home for what he spent years of his life building and is happy to leave it with WanTok Network, knowing the continuous investment and profound caring for its customers will be in good hands.

As part of the deal, WanTok Network will acquire Telsat Broadband assets to expand its existing coverage within Vanuatu, and at the same time, use the various Technologies within both networks to complement each other.
