Cable to

Belize

Huawei Technologies USA Inc and

Huawei Marine Networks Co Ltd will work

with Belize Telemedia Ltd (BTL) to build

an undersea cable system between the

Belize mainland and San Pedro Island.

The undersea cable, named Strategic

Evolution Underwater Link (SEUL), is a key

piece to BTL’s promise to modernize its

mobile and landline network. The project

includes deploying LTE (4G)mobile service

and fiber to residential and businesses

buildings in San Pedro.

“We have made it our mission to put

Belize in the top three in the region in

terms of connectivity and broadband

speeds. Strategic Evolution Underwater

Link is another step in achieving our goal,

along with the build out of nationwide 4G

LTE,” said Anwar Barrow, chairman of the

BTL executive committee.

The SEUL cable will span 24km, delivering

40 channels at 100G per fiber over 8-fiber

pairs, which will result in up to 32Tb per

second.

The project is scheduled to start this

summer, with a completion date towards

the end of 2017.

“We are excited to continue our

partnership with BLT, this time to construct

a next-generation undersea cable system

that will use advanced technology

to bring fast, reliable and low-cost

connectivity to the people of Belize,” said

Mike Constable, CEO of Huawei Marine.

“…This project demonstrates our strong

commitment to providing leading-edge,

high speed Internet service to all Belizeans

and contributing to the social and

economic development of the country.”
