Construction of the Madang Cable Landing Station and duct route is progressing with completion of the CLS due by end November and the duct route by early September in time for the Land Cable install.

The Madang CLS is being built on land inside the existing TPNG compound adjacent to the Madang telephone exchange. It is planned to install the land cable into a new duct route, with a total distance from the beach manhole to the CLS close to 1.5 kilometers.  TPNG, PIPEs partner in the project, will include additional spare ducts along the route for future planned unrepeatered links that will ultimately link other provinces of Papua New Guinea.
