AIRWAVES 03 | Universal Reach

Connectivity is more than a signal. It creates opportunity, strengthens essential services and brings people closer—even across hundreds of kilometres of ocean.

In this third edition of AIRWAVES, Harish Bhoolah, Director of Finance & Administration at the ICT Authority, explains how the Universal Service Fund transforms contributions from the ICT sector into meaningful projects that help bridge the digital divide.

From Digital Services Centres and free public Wi-Fi to improved connectivity in Agalega and the planned satellite link for Raphaël Island in St Brandon, every project advances one shared commitment: ensuring that no community is left beyond reach.

Because wherever people live or work, connection matters.

Beyond Connectivity: Connecting every Island of the Republic

The Information and Communication Technologies Authority (ICTA) has designated Emtel Ltd as the Universal Service Provider for the provision of Internet services to Raphael Island in the St Brandon Archipelago, through a project financed by the Universal Service Fund (USF).

Using Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technology, the project will provide reliable Internet connectivity to support essential services and operations on the island, including those of the National Coast Guard, the Mauritius Meteorological Services and Raphael Fishing Co Ltd.

This new connectivity will contribute to maritime security, weather monitoring, communications and day-to-day operations on one of Mauritius’ most remote islands.

The contract was signed in Port Louis today in the presence of Dr the Hon. Avinash Ramtohul, Minister of Information Technology, Communication and Innovation, representatives of the ICTA and Emtel Ltd as well as other stakeholders attending the ceremony.

From Agalega to Rodrigues, mainland Mauritius and now St Brandon, the Universal Service Fund continues to help extend the benefits of digital connectivity to communities and locations where conventional telecommunications infrastructure can be challenging to deploy.

Because distance should never be a barrier to connectivity and opportunity.

AIRWAVES 02 | The Radio Regulations

Radio waves do not stop at national borders. Their effective use therefore depends on international cooperation and a shared regulatory framework.

In this second edition of the Airwaves series, Jérôme Louis, Director of Engineering at the ICT Authority, explains how the Radio Regulations support the coordination of spectrum, the management of cross-border interference and the protection of radiocommunication services in Mauritius.

This edition also looks ahead to WRC-27 and the important spectrum discussions that will help shape future technologies, including 6G.

Facilitating Connectivity: ICTA Convenes Key Stakeholders on Cell Site Deployment

The Information and Communication Technologies Authority (ICTA), under the chairmanship of its Executive Director, Mr. Atishay Sookun, convened a high-level working session today with key public sector stakeholders to address the administrative challenges faced by local mobile operators in the deployment of cell sites across the island.

The meeting brought together officials from the Ministry of Agro-Industry and Food Security (Forestry Division), the Road Development Authority (RDA), the Local Development Authority (LDA), the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Centre (NDRRMC), the Ministry of Housing and Land Use Planning, and the Ministry of Local Government.

The timely rollout of cell sites is a critical enabler of seamless, high-quality mobile connectivity for all citizens, businesses and visitors. However, operators continue to face administrative hurdles including lengthy permitting processes, land access constraints, and overlapping institutional clearances which can delay network expansion and densification, particularly in underserved and high-demand areas.

During the session, participants engaged in constructive discussions on streamlining approval workflows, improving inter-agency coordination, and establishing clearer, more predictable timelines for site acquisition and authorisation. The exchanges reaffirmed a shared commitment to removing bottlenecks while safeguarding environmental, land use, road safety and disaster resilience considerations.

This high-level working session followed the meeting the ICTA had with mobile operators on 09 June 2026 concerning network coverage, quality of service and the deployment of telecommunications infrastructure across the Republic of Mauritius.

As the apex regulator of the ICT sector, the ICTA stands firm in its role as a responsible facilitator working hand in hand with public institutions and licensed operators to ensure that regulatory and administrative processes support, rather than hinder, the deployment of critical telecommunications infrastructure.
