    PNG DataCo, a Papua New Guinea telecommunications operator, has revealed that the deployment of the Kumul Submarine Cable System (KSCN) will be completed
    in the third quarter of 2021.

    The project, partially funded by the Export-Import Bank of China (85% concessional credit), is currently being deployed by Huawei and is interconnected
    with the Coral Offshore Cable System (CSCS).

    The Kumul Domestic Submarine Cable aims to connect 15 coastal cities
    between Port Moresby, Alotau, Popondeta, Lae and Madang provinces.

    According to the plan, the Kumul system consists of three parts: System 1 connects Jayapura to Arawa and connects Vanimo, Wewak, Lorengau, Madang, Kimbe, Kavieng and Kokopo through seven branches; The second phase, spanning 1,874 km, connects Madang to Port Moresby and connects it to Lae, Popondetta and Alotau (completed in December 2018)
    via three branch paths.

    The third phase is to connect Daru and Kerema to the
    existing branch path in the 200km PNG LNG system.
    As originally planned, this phase was to be completed in mid-2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was delayed to the
    third quarter of this year.
