The TT-1 submarine cable is a high-speed fiber-optic cable that spans over 1,400 kilometers from the east coast of the United States to the Caribbean island of Trinidad. The cable was installed in 2010 and provides high-speed internet and telecommunications services to the island nation.
The TT-1 cable system is owned and operated by a consortium of telecommunications companies, including Columbus Communications Trinidad Limited (CCTL), a subsidiary of Cable & Wireless Communications (CWC), and Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago (TSTT).
The cable has a total capacity of 15 terabits per second and is designed to provide resilient and reliable connectivity to meet the increasing demand for high-speed internet and telecommunications services in the region.
The cable is currently the primary telecommunications link between the United States and Trinidad and has significantly improved the island's connectivity to the rest of the world. It has also enabled Trinidad to become a hub for data storage and communication services, supporting the growth of the country's technology and business sectors.
The TT-1 submarine cable is a critical piece of infrastructure for Trinidad and the wider Caribbean region, providing fast and reliable internet and telecommunications services that are essential for economic and social development.
