Over the last decade, Vodafone and SES have taken the Cook Islands from high-frequency radio to high-speed broadband using the SES MEO satellite network. The next phase in the partnership deploys the advanced satellite constellation O3b mPOWER to provide fast and reliable 4G+ connectivity to the remotest part of the archipelago.

In the fourth episode of our five-part series, our host Kristina Smith-Meyer meets Julie Taripo. A journalist producing local documentaries which capture the cultural stories of island life. Julie shows us how access to better connectivity has allowed her content to be viewed and shared across the world.

Featuring: Julie Taripo, video journalist, Rarotonga.
