Telecommunications in Haiti

Haiti, officially the Republic of Haiti, is a country located on the island of Hispaniola in the Greater Antilles archipelago of the Caribbean Sea. It occupies the western three-eighths of the island, which it shares with the Dominican Republic.

Haiti has one of the most underdeveloped fixed telecommunications infrastructures across the Caribbean, with a fixed-line penetration of approximately 1% according to the ITU. The mobile sector is the largest private employer in Haiti and is the biggest contributor to state revenue from taxes. Fixed-line broadband access in Haiti remains very limited, although internet use has increased substantially in recent years. According to latest ITU data (June 2017) mobile coverage reaches 57% of the population, with 4G LTE not yet officially available.
