F.Dharanboodhoo GPON Project

Background

In the initial phases of cable installation in Male' the responsibility of installing cables was entrusted to companies such as Dhiraagu, Medianet, and Raajjé Online. However, when Ooredoo entered the market to provide internet services, they encountered challenges in establishing their own cable infrastructure in Male'. Consequently, they had to form a partnership with Medianet and utilize their existing cable network to deliver Ooredoo internet services. \

In Hulhmale' Phase 1, ROL is still unable to provide services using the same method as in Male'. While companies like Dhiraagu and Medianet have been able to install their cables and offer services, ROL has faced challenges in establishing their own infrastructure in Phase 1. As a result, they have not been able to provide their services in the same manner as in Male'.

Lessons Learned and Implementation

Taking valuable insights from this experience, Urbanco undertook the task of cable installation in Hulhmale' Phase 2. This strategic decision aimed to ensure a smoother and more efficient process for enabling multiple service providers to offer their services. As a result, Phase 2 of Hulhmale' now boasts the availability of Ooredoo, Medianet, Dhiraagu, and Raajjé Online services, facilitated by Urbanco's proactive approach to cable installation.
