##Laying Cables

---

**Ministry of Technology and Telecommunications, Minister Boviengkham Vongdara; February 3, 2026**

The Ministry of Technology and Telecommunication has been collaborating with LaoTel and Unitel, who are also the nation's primary internet service providers, to expand and upgrade ground cabling connections across the country. The goal of this initiative is to provide government support to expand Lao internet capacity and improve services, which are largely government-sponsored. To provide a sufficient backbone infrastructure for Laos, upgrade the existing structure, and establish adequate coverage for all metro areas in Laos, approximately 2821.18 kilometers of fibre optic cable need to be laid. With a construction cost of about $817.5 per kilometer, which comes out to about $2.31M in cable-laying costs, using Lao labor. The cabling and network equipment, which will cost in the neighborhood of $50M will represent the lion's share of the cost, and will be acquired from ZTE and Huawei respectively. Cabling will connect to China at Boten, Thailand at Huay Xai, Vientiane, Xeno, and Pakse; Vietnam at Dansavan, Ban Natong, Nam Phao; and Cambodia at Vuen Kham. These cables will be managed by LaoTel and Unitel as part of their services. While Laos will be connected with most of its neighbors directly, all connections to Myanmar will be routed through a neighbor, given high construction costs along the border and safety considerations with the ongoing conflict.
