Dhiraagu has added another prestigious accolade to its growing list of achievements, being named Maldives' Broadband Telecom Company of the Year at the Asian Telecom Awards 2026, a highly regarded regional recognition that celebrates exceptional accomplishments and transformative advancements by telecommunications companies across Asia.

The award is a direct acknowledgement of Dhiraagu's landmark achievement in delivering 100% high-speed fibre broadband access to every household on every inhabited island in the Maldives, a historic feat that has set a new benchmark for broadband connectivity and digital inclusion across the nation.

A Milestone Worth Celebrating

As we celebrate this achievement, I extend my sincere thanks to our customers for their continued trust and for choosing to be part of our network."

A Network Built for Every Maldivian

The Asian Telecom Award reflects the extraordinary breadth and quality of Dhiraagu's connectivity infrastructure across the Maldives. The company currently provides 100% 4G broadband coverage across all inhabited islands, resort islands, and major industrial islands, while its Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) network has achieved 100% coverage of households across the entire country, ensuring that no Maldivian home is left without access to high-speed internet. The company's rapidly expanding 5G network now reaches 73% of the population, continuing to grow as Dhiraagu pushes the boundaries of next-generation connectivity.

Multiple Awards Affirm Network Leadership

The Asian Telecom Award is not the only recent recognition cementing Dhiraagu's position as the Maldives' undisputed connectivity leader. The company has also been honoured by Ookla Speedtest Awards with three outstanding titles, namely the Fastest 5G Network, Best 5G Network, and Best 5G Gaming Experience in the Maldives, based on Ookla Speedtest Intelligence data for the first half of 2025. Together, these accolades paint a clear and compelling picture of a company that consistently delivers on its promise of speed, reliability, and excellence for customers across the nation.

Dhiraagu's continued investment in world-class infrastructure and its relentless pursuit of digital inclusion for all Maldivians remain the driving forces behind these achievements, as the company looks ahead to an even more connected future for the nation.
