The government of Tonga is set to create a National Information Network to improve communication and coordination among different government departments, The Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) said in an official statement.
Together with the Huawei Technologies, a Chinese telecom, the government will build the network, which is exclusive for government departments, through a central electronic system. Other projects that are lined up will be facilitated community wide.
The project aims to cut out inter-departmental communication that could have otherwise circulated the globe before reaching their destinations, given the departments’ relative proximity, MIC stated.
