피지 커버리지

피지 수치가 뜻하는 것

중요한 숫자는 두 개인데, 모든 판매사가 인용하는 건 그중 하나뿐입니다. 일반적인 속도는 22 Mbps입니다. 상태가 좋을 때가 어느 정도인지 알려주는 숫자입니다.

읽을 값어치가 있는 건 10분위, 5 Mbps 쪽입니다. 역 위 기지국이 가득 차고 주변 사람들이 모두 같은 전파에 붙어 있는, 하루 중 아래쪽 10퍼센트일 때의 속도입니다. 중앙값이 높고 바닥이 낮은 나라는 정작 필요한 그 순간까지만 훌륭하게 작동하는 나라입니다.

영상 통화나 테더링이 꼭 필요한 여행이라면 일반 속도가 아니라 혼잡 시 수치를 기준으로 계획하세요.

피지에서 망이 붐빌 때 벌어지는 일

혼잡은 고장이 아니라 화요일 저녁입니다. 문제는 그때 eSIM이 무엇을 할 수 있느냐인데, 대부분의 여행용 eSIM은 할 수 있는 게 없습니다. 나라마다 도매 계약 하나, 망 하나, 길에 선 채로 다른 회사 eSIM을 한 장 더 사는 것 말고는 빠져나갈 방법이 없습니다.

여기서 Orbislo 트래픽은 Vodafone 및 Digicel를 지납니다. 지금 쓰는 망이 나빠지면 여행 도중이라도, 요청하지 않아도 다른 망으로 옮깁니다. 그 순간에 방해하는 대신 옮기고 나서 알려드립니다.

피지의 이동통신사

• Vodafone Fiji: Fiji's communications minister described Vodafone as the operator with the largest market share in the country when it signed a universal service contract in March 2026 to connect 30 communities in Kadavu province.
• Digicel Fiji: Digicel Fiji is owned by Telstra, which completed its purchase of Digicel Pacific in 2022. Telstra described Digicel as the number two operator in Fiji and number one in Papua New Guinea, Nauru, Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu.
• Telecom Fiji: Telecom Fiji Limited came out of the 1989 reform that separated postal and telecommunications functions, and was set up to run domestic fixed-line and data services while FINTEL ran the international gateway.

피지의 구형 네트워크

• Vodafone Fiji is decommissioning 2G to reuse the spectrum for 4G and 5G. SIM cards marked 2G or 3G, or old unlabelled ones, need replacing, while phones that support 3G or 4G keep working at sea and on farms.
• Digicel Fiji still runs 3G. Outside its 5G coverage, phones fall back automatically to 4G or 3G, and the company is reusing 4G equipment to extend coverage to new places.

피지의 5G

• The Ministry of Communications issued 5G spectrum licences to Digicel Fiji, Vodafone Fiji and Telecom Fiji, effective 15 September 2025, with rollout phased by town from 2025 and the government upgrading rural and maritime networks to 4G at the same time.
• Vodafone's 5G licence obligations start with Suva, Nadi, Lautoka and Denarau in 2025, then Nasinu, Lami, Labasa and Savusavu from 2026, and Nausori, Sigatoka, Navua, Ba, Tavua, Rakiraki, Korovou and Taveuni from 2027 into 2028.
• Digicel Fiji built its 5G on Nokia equipment in parts of Suva, Nadi and Lautoka. At launch, Apple and Samsung phones could not connect until the manufacturers released software updates certifying them for the network.

피지 네트워크 참고 사항

• Fiji held its first 4G spectrum auction in 2013, which opened the way for LTE networks to scale up alongside 3G.
• Tropical cyclones Evan, Winston, Gita, Harold, Yasa and Mal damaged towers and equipment between 2012 and 2023, with outages and slow repairs hitting rural and maritime areas hardest. Loss of grid power is the network's main weakness during storms.
• Remote villages are being connected through government-funded universal service contracts. The Kadavu rollout, for example, uses satellite-linked shared Wi-Fi centres where residents buy data vouchers, rather than full mobile coverage.
• Suva is a Pacific cable hub, landing Southern Cross (2000), the Tonga Cable (2013), ICN1 to Vanuatu (2014), Tui-Samoa (2018), Southern Cross NEXT and Gondwana-2 to New Caledonia (2022). Savusavu on Vanua Levu has its own landings of Southern Cross NEXT and Tui-Samoa.
• By 2023 Fiji's regulator was working towards a second submarine cable landing station to strengthen the country's international bandwidth security and digital resilience.
• More cables are planned for Fiji: Bulikula and Tabua, both due in 2026 and landing at Suva and Natadola, and APX East, due in 2028, which will link Suva with Sydney, Hawaii and San Diego.
• Vodafone Fiji supports VoLTE and publishes a list of compatible handsets. If the person you call has no VoLTE, the call falls back to a standard voice connection rather than failing.
