<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>WELLINGTON: Tonga's main island could have its internet service<\/a> restored within two weeks, although it may take much longer to repair the connection to the smaller islands, a cable company official said Tuesday.

The single undersea fiber-optic cable which connects the Pacific nation to the outside world was severed 10 days ago after a huge volcanic eruption and tsunami.

That left most people unable to connect with loved ones abroad. For days, people couldn't get through on their phones, by email, or through social media.

Since then, Tonga's Digicel<\/a> has been able to restore international call services to some areas by using satellite connections. Some people have been able to send emails or get limited internet<\/a> connectivity.

Samieula Fonua, who chairs the board at Tonga Cable Ltd.<\/a>, the state-owned company which owns the fiber-optic cable, said a repair ship had left from Papua New Guinea and was due to stop over in Samoa by Monday to pick up supplies. It should then arrive in Tonga by Feb. 1.

Fonua said the CS Reliance had a crew of about 60 aboard, including engineers, divers and medical staff. He said its equipment included a robot which could assess the cable on the sea bed.

Fonua said preliminary estimates indicated the break in the cable was located about 37 kilometers (23 miles) offshore from the main island of Tongatapu. He said that all going well, the crew should be able to repair the cable by Feb. 8, restoring the internet to about 80% of Tonga's customers.

The cable runs from Tonga to Fiji, a distance of about 800 kilometers (500 miles), and was first commissioned in 2013 at a cost of about $16 million. It was financed through grants from the World Bank Group<\/a> and Asian Development Bank, and increased Tonga's internet capacity fivefold.

But like many small Pacific countries, Tonga relies heavily on a single cable to stay connected and has little in the way of a back-up plan. Three years ago, a cable break believed to have been caused by a ship dragging its anchor also led to weeks of disruptions.

A second, domestic fiber-optic cable that connects Tonga's smaller islands to the main island could prove much more difficult to repair. Fonua said that cable runs near the undersea volcano which erupted and may have been severely damaged. It might need extensive repairs or even a replacement, he said.

Fonua said the focus was on fixing the main international cable, and they could deal with the domestic connections \"at a later time.\"

He said Tongans had been somewhat understanding of the communication disruptions caused by the disaster, which killed three people, destroyed dozens of homes and tainted water supplies with volcanic ash.

\"People are calm. Coming out of a total blackout, just being able to call outside and send an email has settled them a bit,\" Fonua said. \"By the time they start getting more frustrated, I'm hoping we'll have the cable connected by then.\"

导致大多数人无法与国外的亲人。好几天,人们用手机打不通,通过电子邮件或通过社交媒体。

Samieula Fonua,董事会主席汤加电缆有限公司,国有企业拥有光纤电缆,说从巴布亚新几内亚和修理船离开是由于停在萨摩亚周一去接供应。它应该由2月1日抵达汤加。

Fonua说CS依赖约60名船员,包括工程师、潜水员和医务人员。他说,其设备包括一个机器人可以评估在海底电缆。

Fonua说,初步的估计指出在电缆位于约37公里(23英里)离岸磅礴主岛的气流。他说,一切顺利,工作人员应该能够修复电缆到2月8日,恢复互联网汤加大约80%的客户。

电缆从汤加到斐济,距离大约800公里(500英里),并在2013年首次委托成本约1600万美元。它是通过赠款的资助世界银行集团亚洲开发银行和汤加的互联网能力的提高五倍。

但像许多太平洋小国,汤加严重依赖一个单一电缆保持联系,小的一个后备计划。三年前,一份电报打破认为是由一艘船拖曳锚的破坏也导致周。

第二,国内光纤电缆连接汤加的小岛主岛可能更难以修复。Fonua说,电缆运行附近的海底火山爆发,可能已经严重受损。它甚至可能需要广泛的维修或更换,他说。

Fonua说,重点是解决主要国际电缆,和他们可以处理国内连接在稍后的时间。”

他说汤加已经有所理解的沟通中断造成的灾难,造成三人死亡,摧毁了许多房屋和火山灰污染水源。

“人们平静。的总停电,就能够调用外部和发送电子邮件已经解决他们,”Fonua说。“他们开始变得更沮丧的时候,我希望我们会有电缆连接。”
