History

Natcom, the result of the privatization of Télécommunications d'Haiti S.A.M. (Teleco) in 2010, has a monopoly on the provision of landline services throughout the country. The Vietnamese company Viettel bought a 60% share, with the Haitian government keeping the remaining 40% of the company.[1][3]

Teleco was constantly hobbled by political interference which affected its performance. A net generator of revenues for the government in the 1970s and early 1980s, Teleco's fortunes then began to decline.

Launched in 2011, Natcom serves currently over 3 million subscribers, covering 93% nationwide and offering a full range of mobile communications and entertainment services for consumer and corporate markets.[4][5] In 2015, it was awarded Stevie Awards as Best corporate social responsibility operator.[6][7]

The company is also an internet provider company in Haiti with a considerable range of internet connectivity solutions. From 4G LTE, Fiber to the home and to the business, Wireless point to point and point to multi point solutions.
