“In

products and services to our valued customers. This latest acquisition grants
us significant additional submarine fibre capacity, which in turn means we can
help our customers achieve their personal and business goals through advanced
solutions and multimedia experiences on multiple devices”
CEO Digicel Group Colm
Delves commenting on the completed acquisition of a Submarine Fiber Optic
Network
Telecom
Provider Digicel has finally
completed their Grand Design for a Caribbean-Wide Submarine Fiber Optic
Network.
This
as they’ve completed their acquisition of Guadeloupe-based Loret Group and
Caribbean Fibre Holdings and their Caribbean Wide Fiber Optic Network, giving Digicel for the first time their own Fiber
Optic Network as stated in the article “Digicel
finalizes Fiber network purchase”, Published Sunday September 14, 2014, The Jamaica Gleaner.
This
is VERY significant folks!
This
Caribbean-wide Submarine Fiber Optic Network comprises 2 separate purchases:
1. Guadeloupe-based
Loret Group and Caribbean Fibre Holdings that gives them 12 segments and spans
12 Caribbean countries some 2100 km across from Trinidad and Tobago along the
Leeward Islands to the Windward Islands up to Puerto Rico
2. Global
Caribbean Fibre and Global Caribbean Network that gives them 3 segments and spans 3 Countries from Guadeloupe, Puerto
Rico and Jamaica and eventually onto to the United States of America
In
all this acquisitions results in a grand 15 segments of Submarine Fiber Optic
Network connecting the entire Caribbean. This will allow them to bypass having
to route Voice Calling over their own Submarine Fiber Optic Cables.
It
also create a Regional Fiber Optic Network to connect their Cable TV
acquisition thus Stream Cable TV via the 4G LTE Network they're building
islandwide as detailed in my Geezam blog
article entitled “Digicel
Turks and Caicos thinks Streaming over 4G LTE by buying Cable TV Internet
Provider”.
Digicel Submarine Fiber
Optic Acquisitions - 4G LTE launch of Caribbean Streaming TV
A
process of acquisitions that began back in November 2013, they’re recently
finalized the acquisition of Telstar Cable on Thursday September 11th
2014 as stated in my blog article
entitled “Digicel
officially acquires Telstar Cable – Why Digicel is launching IPTV Streaming
over 4G LTE using 20 Years of Cable TV History”.
It's
kinda slowly coming into focus; RJR
Communications Group's anticipating competition from Telecom Provider Digicel using Streaming Cable TV,
which explains their launch of TVJ Everywhere in October 2014 as stated in my blog article entitled
“RJR
Communications Group Launching TVJ Everywhere - How Streaming TVJ Everywhere
will boost Advertising Revenue as Digicel and LIME TV coming”.
So
with the acquisition of this Caribbean-wide Submarine Fiber Optic Cable, will
Telecom Provider Digicel launch
Streaming Cable TV over 4G LTE to compete against Triple Play Provider FLOW and
LIME TV Regionally? It might be as soon as December 2014 or even later in 2015,
but with 4G LTE and FTTH possibly coming Caribbean-wide, Telecom Provider Digicel may be packaging it with a
Streaming Cable TV option in the Wings.
