The expansion includes hardware, software and licensing services for the brands Flow (Caribbean), BTC (Bahamas) and CWP (Panama), all of them now part of the Liberty Global group.

In addition, the network expansion will provide all Cable & Wireless markets across the Caribbean and Panama with access to software upgrades and migration to the Ericsson Software Model. The company’s subscribers will benefit from a network capable of supporting advanced technologies and high-speed features such as over-the-top (OTT) platforms, which are driving data demand across the region.
