Un regard sur les changements positifs pour le Guyana que peut apporter le nouveau système de télécommunications par fibre optique Guyana/Suriname.
Le Suriname et le Guyana, deux des rares pays de l'hémisphère avec un accès limité aux télécommunications internationales, sont sur le point d'entrer dans un nouveau monde de communication ultra-moderne avec l'avènement du nouveau Système de Câble Sous-marin Suriname/Guyana (Suriname/Guyana Submarine Cable System, SCSGS).
Jusqu'à présent, les deux pays ont utilisés des connections par câbles terrestres inefficaces, vulnérables et souvent peu fiables passant par la Guyane Française voisine, rendant leur accès international pour les communications vocales et internet fortement dépendantes de capacités satellitaires coûteuses.

Ce diagramme montre les multiples routes maintenant disponibles pour le Guyana, en matière de trafic de communication avec le reste du monde via Trinidad-and-Tobago. |
Exécuté par Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T) en collaboration avec TELESUR, fournisseur de services de télécommunications géré par l'État du Suriname, et Global Marine Systems Limited, un fournisseur de câbles à fibre optique du Royaume-Uni, le SGSCS doit satisfaire les besoins en télécommunications du Guyana et du Suriname pour les 25 prochaines années. Les 65 millions de dollars d'investissement, approuvés par les deux gouvernements en décembre 2008, permet aux deux pays d'intégrer un nouvel élément TIC perfectionné pointe dans leur projet de développement.
[...]
En adoptant les capacités de communication accrues par le haut-débit offertes par le nouveau câble, les petites et moyennes entreprises locales ont l'opportunité d'améliorer leur productivité et leur compétitivité.
GT & T affirme que l'équipement et la technologie utilisés dans le nouveau câble sous-marin est à la pointe de l'industrie en termes de capacité et de garantie de service, et sont "les plus efficaces sur le marché" [...]
Le système, "va fournir au Guyana une capacité entièrement protégée équivalente à plus de 250.000 conversations téléphoniques internationales simultanées de haute qualité, soit l'équivalent à plus de 4.000 connexions DSL combinées avec les États-Unis".

Exploiting the vast potential of the ICT age
A look at the positive changes which the new Guyana/Suriname fibre optic telecommunications cable system can bring to Guyana
Suriname and Guyana, two of the few remaining countries in the hemisphere with limited international telecommunications access to the rest of the world stand on the threshold of entry into a brave new world of ultra-modern communication with the advent of the new Suriname/Guyana Submarine Cable System (SCSGS).
This diagram shows the multiple paths now available to Guyana to pass communication traffic with the rest of the world through Trinidad and Tobago.
Up until now, both countries have been confined to inefficient, vulnerable and often unreliable land cables routed through neighbouring French Guiana, rendering their international access to both voice and internet communications heavily reliant on costly satellite capacity.
Eighteen months of elaborate planning and negotiations have finally led to the provision of a submarine cable network linking Guyana, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago and the outcome, fibre optic access for both Guyana and Suriname to Port of Spain now provides both countries with onward submarine networks that will provide a significant improvement in the telecommunications capabilities of the two South American republics.
Executed by the Guyana Telephone and Tele-graph Company (GT&T) in collaboration with the state-run telecommunications service provider TELESUR of Suriname and Glo-bal Marine Systems Limited, a UK-based fibre optic cable systems provider, the SGSCS is set to serve the telecommunications needs of Guyana and Suriname for the next 25 years. The US$65 million investment, endorsed by both governments in December 2008, positions the two countries to infuse a significantly enhanced ICT component into their development planning.
[...]
Cheaper, enhanced capacity for data and information transfer and speed of transfer – which is what the new submarine cable provides – opens up an exciting range of new ICT possibilities for Guyana. Among those to which GT&T has already pointed are significant enhancements in the capacity of local small and medium enterprises to develop new commercial opportunities and to serve as a catalyst for change in the way in which businesses in Guyana are organized and operate. By embracing the increased broadband communications capacity which the new cable provides local small and medium enterprises will create opportunities to improve both their productivity and their competitiveness.
GT&T says the equipment and technology utilized in the new submarine cable leads the industry in terms of capability and service guarantee and is “the most efficient in the market” [...]
The system, it says, “will deliver fully protected capacity to Guyana that equates to over 250,000 simultaneous high quality international telephone conversations or the equivalent of over 4,000 combined DSL connections to the USA.”
