DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Timor
Leste (East Timor) – Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband – Statistics and
Analyses” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s
offering.

Fixed-line infrastructure remains limited in Timor Leste and significant
fixed-line investment has been limited due to the strong expansion of
mobile services in the country. As mobile services allowed reasonably
rapid and effective coverage of key parts of the country, the pressure
to expand fixed services decreased.

Timor-Leste has been pressing ahead with the regeneration of its economy
and the rebuilding of infrastructure. The effort to roll out
telecommunications infrastructure in particular has been a key part of
this. Despite the considerable energy that has been going into this
rebuilding, the prevailing social and political environment continues to
present major challenges to those seeking to improve the country.

The Timorese government launched a new national terrestrial optical
fibre network, aimed to boost e-government services.

Australian telco Vocus Group is reportedly interested in partnering with
the Timor-Leste government for the potential deployment of a submarine
fibre-optic link connecting the south of the country to the North
Western Cable System (NWCS).

Fixed broadband penetration in Timor Leste remains extremely low mainly
due to a limited number of fixed lines as well as the dominance of the
mobile platform. However, the market has grown strongly over the past
five years from a very small base. Timor Telecom was contracted for the
supply, installation and configuration of a fibre-optic network. This
will help to fuel stronger growth over the next few years. Over the next
five years to 2023 the market is expected to grow very strongly but
overall market penetration will remain extremely low compared to other
nations.

All three major mobile operators: Timor Telecom, Telkomcel and Telemor
launched 4G LTE services and their rollouts continued during 2019.

A local consortium has submitted an application to become the country’s
fourth telecoms operator. Ceslink intends to offer high-quality,
high-speed and affordable telecoms services in all areas of the country.

Slow to moderate growth is predicted over the next five years to 2023 in
the mobile subscriber market. It will be constrained from higher growth
due to strong local competition and a maturing market.

Timor Leste has seen a very rapid increase in mobile broadband
penetration over the past five years, driven by a rising level of mobile
subscribers with smartphones. However, the mobile broadband market is
still at an early stage of development. Strong growth is predicted over
the next five years to 2023.

• All three major mobile operators: Timor Telecom, Telkomcel and Telemor
  continue to roll-out 4G LTE services.
