SINBIP遗产 – 10,000个就业机会和170名技术人员培训
BY JOSES SAREN Beyond installing 161 towers, the Solomon Islands National Broadband Infrastructure Project (SINBIP) has created 10,000 local jobs and trained 170 technicians. This included hands-on training courses focused on communication operation and maintenance and eight special training sessions held to cultivate the local technical workforce. The project was carried through collaboration between China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC), Huawei, the Solomon Islands Ministry of Communication and Aviation (MCA), and Solomon Tower Company Ltd (STL). China Harbour Engineering Company’s (CHEC) South Pacific Division Managing Director, Chen Wei and Chinese Ambassador Cai Weiming confirmed the details at the July 31 handover ceremony. The project also established permanent technical support in the country. Huawei provided cutting-edge digital equipment for the network and stationed a permanent team of specialists to deliver full lifecycle technical services. China Harbour Engineering Company has operated in the Solomon Islands since 2019. Over nearly eight years, the company has established a localised system for construction, compliance, and maintenance. CHEC previously completed major local infrastructure projects, including the Suava Bridge and the Munda Airport runway upgrade. Chen Wei described SINBIP as a landmark concessional loan project following the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and the Solomon Islands. It also marks China Harbour’s first national-level digital infrastructure project in the country. The project was delivered as a public-private partnership involving two governments, CHEC, Huawei, and Solomon Telekom Company Limited. To manage the infrastructure long-term, the Solomon Islands Government created a new state-owned enterprise called Solomon Tower Limited in 2024. China Harbour committed to providing ongoing warranty support and rapid fault response alongside MCA and Huawei. Chen Wei expressed readiness to deepen future cooperation in transport, digital infrastructure, and public works. For feedback, contact: josessaren@gmail.com Editor: irwin3angiki@gmail.com
