SYDNEY: Telephone links between Tonga and the wider world began to be reconnected on Wednesday, though restoring full internet connectivity is likely to take a month or more according to the owner of the archipelago's sole subsea communications cable.

The explosion of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano, which has killed at least three people and sent tsunami waves across the Pacific, knocked out communications around the nation of about 105,000 people on Saturday.

Telecom operator Digicel said late on Wednesday it had managed to restore international<\/a> calling capability, though Reuters was not immediately able to reach numbers in Tonga.

Full network services will not be available until the undersea cable is fixed, Digicel said. A specialist ship is aiming to embark from Port Moresby on a repair voyage over the weekend, said Samiuela Fonua, chairman of cable owner Tonga Cable Ltd.

But with eight or nine days' sailing to collect equipment in Samoa, and then an uncertain journey toward the fault in the eruption area, he said it will be \"lucky\" if the job is done within a month.

\"It could be longer than that,\" he added on the telephone from Auckland where he has been co-ordinating the repair.

\"The cables are actually around the volcanic zone. We don't know ... whether they are intact or blown away or stuck somewhere underwater. We don't know if it's buried even deeper.\"

Tonga's government and the state-owned Tonga Communications Corp.<\/a> could not be contacted.

PAY LATER<\/strong>

The virtual communications blackout has made relief efforts, already challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic, even more difficult.

It also underscores the vulnerability of the subsea fibre-optic cables that have become the backbone of global telecoms.

The $34 million Asian Development Bank and World Bank-funded cable was finished in 2018 and boosted Tonga's net speeds more than 30-fold, but is almost its sole link to the wider world.

Attempts to replicate an emergency satellite connection that was set up when the same cable was severed three years ago had stalled amid a contract dispute between the government and Singapore-based satellite operator Kacific<\/a>.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Tuesday that Tonga was negotiating with Kacific, which has a satellite above the archipelago, to access a satellite internet connection.

Tonga Cable will be expected to pay the U.S. maintenance company SubCom for the repairs. Chairman Fonua declined to provide an estimate but said the bill would probably come in below $1 million. \"We will settle the cost later,\" he said.

\"There are some other cable companies as well that are willing to provide spare cables,\" he added, without elaborating.

Tonga will be able to access a $10 million Asian Development Bank relief facility upon request, deputy director general of the ADB's Pacific department, Emma Veve, told Reuters.

悉尼:电话联系汤加和更广阔的世界开始重新连接周三,虽然恢复网络连接显示可能需要一个月或更多的所有者群岛唯一的海底通信电缆。

的爆炸Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha 'apai火山,已造成至少三人死亡,横跨太平洋的海啸,摧毁了通信周六在全国约105000人。

电信运营商Digicel周三晚间表示,已设法恢复国际调用功能,但路透无法立即能够达到数字汤加。

完整的网络服务将不可用,直到海底电缆是固定的,Digicel说。专家船计划开始从莫尔兹比港修理航行上周末,说Samiuela Fonua,电缆所有者汤加电缆有限公司主席。

但在八到九天的航行在萨摩亚收集设备,然后一个不确定的旅程爆发地区断层,他说这将是“幸运”如果工作是在一个月内完成。

“也可能超过,”他补充说从奥克兰在电话里他一直在协调修复。

“火山周围的电缆是区。我们不知道……是否完整或被风吹走或被困在水下。我们不知道它埋藏更深。”

汤加政府和国有企业汤加通信公司。无法联系。

支付后

虚拟通信中断了救灾工作,已经受到COVID-19大流行,更加困难。

它还凸显了脆弱的海底光纤电缆已经成为全球电信的支柱。

3400万美元的亚洲开发银行和世界银行资助的有线电视于2018年完成,促进汤加的净速度超过30倍,但几乎是其唯一的链接到更广阔的世界。

试图复制紧急成立时相同的卫星连接电缆切断了三年前已经停滞在政府和新加坡的卫星运营商之间的合同纠纷Kacific。

联合国人道主义事务协调办公室(OCHA)周二表示,汤加与Kacific谈判,卫星在群岛,访问一个卫星网络连接。

汤加电缆将支付美国维护公司SubCom维修。主席Fonua拒绝提供一个估计,但表示该法案可能会在100万美元以下。“我们将解决成本之后,”他说。

“有一些其他有线电视公司愿意提供备用电缆,”他补充道,没有详细说明。

汤加将能够访问亚洲开发银行1000万美元的救援设施要求,副局长亚行的太平洋百货,艾玛·Veve告诉路透。
