About Kiribati - Frigate Net

Amalgamated Telecom Holdings Kiribati Limited, operating as Frigate Net, is the primary mobile network provider in the Republic of Kiribati. This island nation located in Oceania relies heavily on Frigate Net for its mobile communication services. Characterized by its Mobile Country Code (MCC) of 545 and Mobile Network Code (MNC) of 09, Frigate Net provides essential connectivity across Kiribati's scattered atolls. As the dominant player in Kiribati’s telecom landscape, Frigate Net plays a vital role in connecting the islands. While specific details regarding Frigate Net’s network infrastructure and coverage can be challenging to acquire due to Kiribati's remote location and limited data availability, anecdotal evidence suggests that 2G, 3G and 4G services have been deployed since 2013. This allows for the residents to have the ability to connect to services such as Facebook, whatsapp and other internet based mobile apps. The introduction of the 4G mobile technology was a significant advancement for the islands, allowing the people in Oceania more opportunities to use the internet. For comparison, many island nations struggle to deploy widespread or affordable mobile infrastructure with some areas only able to achieve very basic 2G connections. As the primary operator, Frigate Net impacts daily life, business operations, and communication within Kiribati and with the rest of the world.
