Operator says subsea Maya cable overhaul secures Cayman’s digital future
A multi-million dollar upgrade to Cayman’s main subsea cable will help secure the island’s digital connectivity for at least the next decade, according to telecoms giant Liberty Networks.
The improvements to the ageing Maya-1 cable come amid increasing anxiety about the island’s tech infrastructure and resilience.
The reconfigured cable system, branded Maya 1.2, should allay public fears about the threat of a digital blackout, Liberty Networks’ Carmine Sorrentino, chief commercial and operating officer, said in an interview.
He said the upgrades would improve quality, increase internet speeds and bolster national resilience. And he insisted the idea that the cable would have been ‘retired’ without an alternative was a ‘myth’.
