As we celebrate Dhiraagu’s 35th anniversary, we reflect on our rich history of providing essential digital and telecommunication service to the nation, delivering innovative solutions and empowering digital communities across the country. Last year, we reaffirmed our commitment to our core values by integrating sustainable practices across all facets of our company, bringing a fundamental shift in our approach towards Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) responsibility.
We remain steadfast in enriching lives through digital services and have invested significantly to this end. During the year, we completed the upgrade of our domestic submarine cable system, incorporating four additional segments to our existing digital network. We also extended our fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) service to 94% of national households and enhanced our 5G presence in the Greater Male’ Area, providing greater connectivity to our customers. Moreover, as part of our efforts to strengthen our resiliency, we invested in a Tier III certification-ready data centre during the year, along with the establishment of a brand-new Security Operations Centre (SOC) and upgrade to our existing Network Operations Centre (NOC).
This would not have been possible without the passion and commitment of our staff. I thank our dedicated team for their continuous efforts to deliver the company’s strategic goals, enabling our customers to ‘take on tomorrow’ in the digital future.
We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our loyal customers for their continued trust in us and our Board of Directors for their guidance and support to maintain our position as the leading digital and telecommunication service provider in the Maldives.
