BSCC’s second Palau cable project (PC2) was selected as a pilot project for this initiative. In 2025 PC2 was honored to be certified as one of the first four Blue Dot Network projects.
Pacific Telecommunications Council’s Best Quality of Life Improvement 2019
Each year the peak telecommunications body for the Pacific, the Pacific Telecommunications Council (PTC) makes a number of innovation awards. In 2019 BSCC was honored to receive the Best Quality of Life Improvement award for its work completing Palau’s first subsea international cable connection, PC1, in 2017. PC1’s high speed connectivity transformed all aspects of life in Palau, which had previously been dependent on limited satellite communications.
