Samoa Technologies

In 1988, Samoa Technologies ventured into the radio broadcasting field with KSBS-FM 92, Samoa first FM radio station, broadcasting initially from our original studio facilities in the village of Auto. In 1992, Samoa Technologies constructed new radio broadcasting studios and facilities in the Pago Pago bay area (Faga’alu) where it continues to broadcast 7/24 today.

Samoa Technologies was formed in August 1984 as a telecommunications common carrier for mobile communication and paging services. By 1985, Samoa Technologies had a customer base of over 3,500 end users on its voice and data paging service system.

In 1991, Samoa Technologies acquired the satellite earth station assets and facilities of COMSAT Communications, a company owned by Lockhead Martin. The satellite facilities provided the only commercial communication means for connecting American Samoa to the outside world.

In 1998, Samoa Technologies ventured into the aircraft leasing business with the acquisition of its first new aircraft, a Dornier 228-212 airplane delivered from the Fairchild Dornier plant near Munich, Germany in late 2000. The aircraft was leased to Vision Airlines in Las Vegas, Nevada for passenger and leisure operations into the Grand Canyon. Samoa Technologies also leases aircraft to Inter Island Airways in Pago Pago, American Samoa. Samoa Technologies manages an Aircraft fleet of Dornier 228-212, Dornier 328-100, and Britten-Norman Islander aircraft with an Aircraft portfolio worth over US$8 Million.

An additional investment of over US$2 Million for major upgrades in the Pago Pago facilities, including two new satellite antennas, and expansion of existing building facilities to accommodate future data communication and broadcasting needs were made over the years.
