Saint Pierre & Miquelon, a French overseas territory, is located in the North Atlantic Ocean near Newfoundland, Canada. With a population of just over 6,000 spread largely across two islands, the terrain is rugged and the climate harsh. Telecommunications infrastructure is relatively advanced for the size and remoteness of the territory, with cellular mobile networks and broadband internet services available. The small population and harsh environment present unique challenges for infrastructure development, yet innovative solutions have been implemented. For example, a submarine fibre optic cable, installed in 2018, links the islands to Canada via Newfoundland, greatly improving internet speed and reliability. Despite a reliance on imported fossil fuels for electricity generation, the territory has begun to explore renewable energy options, with a focus on wind power. However, the renewable energy sector is still in its early stages of development. The technology sector is not highly developed, with much of the local economy focused on fishing and related industries.
