Cambodia, with a population of 16 million largely distributed across rural areas, adequate connectivity is a substantial undertaking. Phnom Penh, the capital, and Siem Reap, the tourist hub, have comprehensive services; however, remote regions struggle with limited accessibility, particularly during monsoonal rains. Despite these challenges, Cambodia has seen unprecedented growth in mobile and internet services. In renewables, the country has significant projects underway in development of solar power, with hydropower already accounting for over half of the country's energy production. Infrastructure solutions are still needed for comprehensive digital inclusion and energy access, but these progressions demonstrate Cambodia's steady advancements in technology and telecommunications.
