Digicel on IPV6
He said in the next 6 to 12 months he sees no progress in the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 since more awareness was needed on the benefits and advantages of it.
“Aside from increased address space, not many people in Fiji and the Pacific Islands care about mobility, auto configuration etc. IPv6 will benefit us by increasing space and allow all manner of devices to have public static IP addresses,” Mr O'Shaughnessy said.
He said even though all Digicel's equipment are IPv6 capable they did not have any current plans to transit to IPv6 yet.
Mr O'Shaughnessy said businesses in the Pacific were not aware about the importance of IPv6 and how to adapt to it as a result there will be a very slow transition to IPv6.
