Sandwich Isles Communications, Inc. (SIC) continues to work closely with DHHL’s LMD and<br />
LDD in the planning, design and construction of its residential developments and commercial<br />
projects statewide. SIC is responsible for the cost of design and construction of all telecommunications<br />
infrastructure which service new projects on Hawaiian home lands. This includes installation<br />
of underground ducts, handholes and <strong>ma</strong>nholes, underground cabling and miscellaneous telephone<br />
equipment. SIC is committed to providing DHHL with the highest quality of service and therefore<br />
is the first service provider in the state to install fiber optic cabling to each residential home.<br />
In 2009, SIC completed its inter-island fiber optic cabling linking the islands of Kaua‘i, O‘ahu,<br />
Moloka‘i, Maui and Hawai‘i. The project is operational and included over 348 miles of fiber optic<br />
cable installation on land and in the ocean, along with three new terminal buildings at Kekaha,<br />
Kaua‘i, Pu‘unene, Maui and Pu‘ukapu, Hawai‘i. The buildings house SIC’s fiber optic terminals allowing<br />
them to light their fiber optic cable between islands SIC is now working on upgrading and<br />
replacement of copper wiring with fiber optic cable to the residential lots not serviced with fiber<br />
optic cables.<br />
SIC now services over 2,000 customers on Hawaiian home lands.<br />
