The mobile phone network and home entertainment provider, Digicel Group, has announced the activation of its subsea fibre cable, Deep Blue One, which is expected to “supercharge” connectivity across the Caribbean and South America, particularly benefiting Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname and Trinidad & Tobago.

According to a Digicel release yesterday, this advanced fibre cable network will provide “seamless connectivity” to the countries it serves, “facilitating uninterrupted communication and real-time data transmission.” Further, Deep Blue One also presents an “invaluable opportunity” to connect offshore oil and gas rigs, supporting the growing energy sector in the region and fostering collaboration among key stakeholders in the oil and gas industry.
