Postal and telecommunications services were originally provided by the Office d’État des postes et télécommunications de la Polynésie française, created in 1962 after the arrival of the Pacific Experimentation Center.[2] Following the granting of internal autonomy to French Polynesia in 1984, the Assembly of French Polynesia created an EPIC to provide those services instead.[3]
As of 2023 the company has five major subsidiaries:[4]
- ONATi for fixed and mobile telephony and broadband
- Fare Rata for postal services
- Tahiti Nui Telecom for satellite, cable, and cloud computing services
- Pacific Cash Services for cash transport within the OPT group
- MARARA Payment for financial services
The OPT is part of the International Telecommunication Union,[5] the Universal Postal Union,[6] the Pacific Islands Telecommunications Association (PITA),[7] and the Pacific Telecommunications Council (PTC).[8]
