Cambodia Fibre Optic Communication Networks Co., Ltd (CFOCN) requested approval from the Ministry of Public Works and Transport to undertake a significant project involving the drilling and installation of fibre optic cables across nine major provinces. This request was discussed during a meeting chaired by Mr. Lim Sidenin, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Public Works and Transport, on 21 June 2024.

The proposed project aims to enhance the fibre optic network in Kandal, Kampot, Kampong Speu, Kampong Thom, Kep, Sihanoukville, Koh Kong, Takeo, and Svay Rieng provinces. The meeting focused on reviewing the proposal’s detailed technical plan, assessing its impact, and ensuring compliance with technical regulations for the design and installation of public facilities on roads. This ensures the cable system’s safety, efficiency, and sustainability, particularly concerning the orderly arrangement of underground equipment systems.

Mr. Lim Sidenin advised CFOCN and the Department of Public Works of the nine provinces, along with all relevant units, to collaborate closely and share all necessary details to expedite the project as planned. This cooperative effort aims to accelerate the installation process, ensuring the successful implementation of the fibre optic network, which will enhance connectivity and technological infrastructure in these provinces.
