Digicel Business says it is on board as the Principal Sponsor of the 2nd annual Guyana Basins Summit.
A Digicel release yesterday said the summit will take place from today to Thursday, October 6th 2022 in Georgetown and Digicel Business will be there showcasing its business solutions to major operators, licence holders, tier one contractors and the entire value chain in Guyana’s emerging hydrocarbons sector.
The release said that the Guyana Basins Summit comes at an opportune time as Digicel Business prepares for the installation of its Deep Blue One subsea cable infrastructure in early 2024 which will significantly increase connectivity in this area of the Caribbean and South America. The release said that the Deep Blue One will provide the best in-class connectivity to French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana and Trinidad & Tobago, and connect offshore oil and gas platforms on the back of industry developments in the region.
Commenting on Digicel Business’ significant investment, Kevin Beckett, Head of Oil & Gas, Digicel Group Business Solutions said, “With subsea fibre providing the backbone of the global economy and serving as a catalyst to economic development, our substantial investment in submarine capacity underpins our confidence in the development of the region. A great example of this is the connectivity options we will be able to provide, both onshore and offshore, to the oil and gas industries in countries like Guyana and Suriname as they capitalise on the boom in the region.”
Through its infrastructure, the release said that Digicel Business is able to provide solutions from the seabed to the cloud and everything in between, allowing for the rollout and support of any offshore requirements, including vessel connectivity and global connectivity to locations anywhere in the world using fibre and wireless solutions.
