Cable & Wireless Communications is planning to a new submarine cable. The British company intends to expand regional hubs in the Caribbean and Central America.
The new cable will connect Jamaica and the Cayman Islands in the west to the British Virgin Islands in the east, and will also land in the Dominican Republic.
The cable will help CWC and its Caribbean unit, Lime, meet the increasing demand for high-speed bandwidth from clients and business customers in the region.
Lime is operational in 13 Caribbean countries, and is creating a range of new fixed broadband and mobile data services for customers. It has started installing the submarine cable, which is expected to be operational by early 2011.
CWC, which includes fixed and mobile retail operations in a number of countries and territories around the world, is one part of the former Cable & Wireless group, which split into two earlier in 2010. The other, Cable & Wireless Worldwide, mainly focuses on enterprise operations. GTB
