In 2016 Fiji's Amalgamated Telecommunications Holdings purchased Telecom Services Kiribati Limited from the government of Kiribati. The new company operates all telecommunications in the island chains, including fixed line, radio telephone, cellular mobile, and fixed wireless broadband. Kiribati's main centre Tarawa connected to the O3b network in late 2015.
The closest submarine cable to Kiribati is the HANTRU-1 cable which lands at Majuro, Republic of the Marshall Islands.
