LIME, a Caribbean's telecommunications company and a regional business unit within the Cable and Wireless plc portfolio, reportedly has selected Calix to deliver broadband services throughout the island of Jamaica.

 

Calix (News - Alert) officials said that the Calix C7 Multiservice Access Platform would give LIME the flexibility to quickly roll out advanced broadband services to its residential, business, and government customers.

 

This expansion of Calix access solutions into Jamaica also extends the relationship between LIME and Calix, as the Calix Unified Access Infrastructure has already been deployed at other LIME operations in the Caribbean, including the islands of Barbados and St. Kitts and Nevis.

 

LIME currently serves 13 countries across the Caribbean, with landline, Internet, mobile, and entertainment services.

 

“By teaming with Calix to expand LIME’s broadband service area to reach communities across Jamaica, we are continuing to deliver on our promise to bring the best technologies to this region and build products and services that make Caribbean people’s lives better,” said Dave Newbold, executive vice president, technology at LIME, in a statement.

 

Newbold said that the Calix C7 let the company provide customers across Jamaica with even faster and more reliable broadband services now and gives the company the flexibility to evolve its network to continue to bring more world-class capabilities in the future.

 

“After working with LIME in Barbados and St. Kitts and Nevis, Calix is looking forward to expanding its relationship with the Company,” said Mark Dressler, vice president, major account sales at Calix, in a statement.

 

Dressler said that the company is seeing increased interest across the Caribbean customers to extend and enrich the broadband offerings available to subscribers in the region. He said that as LIME continues to deploy new services and technologies across its entire footprint, Calix is committed to providing the company with solutions that span any media type, any topology, and any speed.

 

Calix is a communications equipment supplier focused solely on access solutions for broadband service delivery.

 

In other news, Wyoming-based communications service provider Silver Star Communications has deployed the Calix Unified Access Infrastructure across its network.

Silver Star reportedly has deployed the Calix C7 multiservice access platform, the Calix E-Series multiservice over Ethernet platforms, and the Calix P-Series customer premises solutions.
