Manuia

Service des Postes et Télécommunications des Îles Wallis et Futuna (SPT) Manuia, operating in the French overseas collectivity of Wallis and Futuna in Oceania, is the primary mobile network provider in the region. Identified by its Mobile Country Code (MCC) 543 and Mobile Network Code (MNC) 1, Manuia's network facilitates essential communication services for the islands' inhabitants. While details about its technological infrastructure are often scarce, it is known to offer GSM services, enabling voice calls and text messaging. As the sole mobile provider [citation needed], SPT Telecom Manuia plays an indispensable role in connecting the remote islands to the wider world. Given its unique position, SPT Manuia effectively functions as a monopoly, influencing the availability, pricing, and technological advancement of mobile services within Wallis and Futuna. Coverage is generally focused around populated areas, with challenges maintaining consistent signal strength in more remote locales. Compared to mobile networks in larger Pacific island nations - which boast multiple operators and more advanced 3G or even 4G LTE networks - Manuia's [reported] reliance on older technologies may limit data speeds and available services for its subscribers. However, ongoing investments in network upgrades may improve connectivity in the future [citation needed]. The network, officially named "Manuia," plays a vital role in the daily lives of Wallisians and Futunians, linking families, businesses, and government services.
