Advances on the East&West Cable
The president of the Dominican Telecommunications Institute (INDOTEL) has spoken of the progress being made in the installation of the submarine, fiber-optic East&West Caribbean Cable. The East-West Cable built by Cable & Wireless Communications is expected to be operational by December, said INDOTEL president Jose Rafael Vargas. It will link Jamaica and the Cayman Islands in the west of the Caribbean to the British Virgin Islands (Tortola) in the east. It will also land in the DR, considered one of the key markets in the region. Cable & Wireless Communications says that the East-West Cable will complete a Caribbean network ring, improving resilience and access for carrier customers. The company already links 23 Caribbean countries.
