–allows increased access to evolving software, services, industry platforms at competitive prices

GUYANA’S only locally-owned telecommunications services provider, E-Networks, has increased its fibre-optic business service, OnFiber Business Ultimate, from 475 Mbps to 675 Mbps for the same monthly subscription fee of $29,999 (VAT inclusive).
According to a press release from the company, with these faster speeds, which are among the most competitively priced in the region, local businesses can easily harness the opportunities provided by advanced technological breakthroughs such as cloud services.
Cloud services, according to ‘tech’ experts, refer to a wide range of services delivered on demand to companies and customers over the Internet.
These services are designed to provide easy, affordable access to applications and resources, without the need for internal infrastructure or hardware.

Newly-appointed Chief Commercial Officer of E-Networks, Abu Zaman, said that this improved access to the cloud and reliable connectivity will enable businesses to achieve a competitive edge by tapping into evolving software, services and industry platforms while managing costs, as has been the case in other developing countries.
He said too that E-Networks recently secured a partnership with Microsoft as a Cloud Service Provider (CSP) to support and drive cloud adoption, while ensuring its customers receive the best value, options, and pricing. “This 42 per cent speed increase is the third time in three years that the company has significantly improved its business packages and is another example of E-Networks’ commitment to supporting the business community’s ability to leverage technology for progression,” the company said.

The company’s business services also support Wi-Fi 6, the next generation of wireless internet. Wi-Fi 6 emphasises better efficiency, capacity and all-around performance, allowing a user’s network to harness the full potential of E-Networks’ internet services.
“E -Networks has been setting standards as the leader in local telecommunications since the liberalisation of the telecommunications sector in October 2020,” the company related. The telecommunications services provider has landed its own subsea international cable from Barbados and the first submarine fibre-optic cable to Essequibo.

E-Networks’ fibre network is also continually expanding, with recently-opened coverage areas in Berbice and on the Essequibo Coast. In these areas, customers can access the same speeds at the same pricing, as those available in Georgetown.
These moves have enabled E-Networks to deploy high-capacity fibre services, 5G and 4G Networks, across Guyana’s most densely populated areas, including rural areas, such as on the Essequibo Coast and in Berbice.
These networks have increased access to faster, more reliable internet at affordable prices to the Guyanese people.
