Netherlands Antilles Gains More Connectivity With New Fibre Optic Cable

23 October 2000

The optic glassfiber-cable 'Americas II' on the seabottom from North America via the Caribbean to South America is operational for Curacao, Netherlands Antilles.

According to Antelecom, the local telecom company on Curacao, the 'Americas II' will result in more bandwidth and lower prices for e-commerce companies on Curacao.

Antelecom is one of the companies forming a consortium which has financed the cable, which makes a landfall on Curacao. As a result of this Antelecom is one of the 'owners' of the high fiber cable. Antelecom expects bandwidth will increase in near future since the high fiber cable 'Acros I' will also land on Curacao.

These developments will result in more bandwidth and faster internet-access for e-commerce companies that will establish and have already established on Curacao.
