The was confirmed by the company’s chief commercial officer Arthur Yen who said work on the upgrade would begin within the next four weeks.
He said the focus was currently on Honiara, though the company would consider extending the improved service to other parts of the country later.
Mr Yen said with the upgrade, customers can expect improved coverage and faster network speeds.
“We have a strong intention of definitely launching before the end of this year,” he said. “More sooner than you think.
