The APNG-2 submarine communications cable was constructed to link Papua New Guinea directly to Australia and indirectly to New Zealand and the rest of the world, and has been in service from late 2006.
The new cable is a collaboration between Telikom PNG, Telstra (in Australia), and Telecom New Zealand.
APNG-2 replaced the APNG-1 cable, a coaxial copper cable of 16 Mbit/s, retired in early 2006.
