Vanuatu is getting a second submarine data cable connection to the rest of the world. Not only will the Tamtam cable deliver more reliable phone and internet connection, it will also double as an early warning system for tsunamis and earthquakes. The cable will be fitted with remote monitoring sensors which will gather climate data and detect seismic activity. ADB is funding a portion of the project through its Wayfinder Program, which helps Pacific Island businesses that traditional lenders overlook. This includes support from ADB’s Asian Development Fund.
