Turks and Caicos Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the Atlantic Ocean, consists of larger Caicos Islands and smaller Turks Islands, totalling around 40 islands and cays. Only eight of these are inhabited, contributing to a widely dispersed population of approximately 45,000, mainly concentrated on Providenciales in the Caicos Islands. The country is heavily dependent on satellite communications due to the lack of a national fibre optic network. However, recent years have seen increased focus on improving technology infrastructure, with a national fibre ring. Despite this, the technology sector remains relatively underdeveloped, with potential for growth and innovation. The islands have also begun to explore renewable energy solutions, particularly solar power, due to abundant sunlight and the need to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels.
