🌎 CELIA submarine cable connecting the Caribbean to the United States   Members of the CELIA consortium introduce CELIA, a new high-capacity “express” cable in the Caribbean region connecting Aruba, Martinique, Antigua, Puerto Rico, and Boca Raton in Florida (U.S.).   The new cable using the latest submarine fiber optic technologies, known as CELIA, Caribbean ELIte Alliance 🤝, will span over 3700 km and link key points in the Caribbean and North America, featuring a minimum of 8 fiber pairs, offering a minimum of 22 Terabits per second per fiber pair, and providing an initial estimated capacity of more than 170 Tbps. CELIA is expected to go live in the third quarter of 2027.   The members of the CELIA consortium 🗺️ are SETAR as the landing partner in Aruba, Orange as the landing partner in Martinique, Telxius as the landing partner in Puerto Rico and Boca Raton, U.S., while also offering 24/7 monitoring and security from its Network Operations Centers (NOC), and APUA as the landing partner in Antigua.   Alcatel Submarine Networks has been selected as the end-to-end supplier for the submarine cable infrastructure, connecting CELIA between the landing partners. The contract is already in force including options to increase capacity ⬆️ and to add new landing points ✅ .   CELIA will enhance connectivity in the Caribbean region, providing high-capacity and secure data transfer and very high Internet speeds with low latency to support the region’s increasing digital demand 💻 along this strategic route offering high quality of service.   Furthermore, investments 📈 such as CELIA ensure that the islands are connected to the worldwide data networks. Being globally connected creates opportunities for sustainable economic growth, bridging the digital divide and improving network resilience.   The CELIA project incorporates high standards for environmental protection and biodiversity preservation 🏝️ in both terrestrial and marine neutral habitats at every stage of the project. The route selection and various infrastructures have been carefully studied to bypass the most sensitive areas and to apply the least invasive technologies. The consortium will work closely with NGOs and local authorities to ensure the preservation of ecosystems and the prosperity of local communities.   “For an island like Aruba, it’s crucial to be connected to international data networks to attract private investments, stimulate local businesses, education, essential services, the hospitality sector and for our integration into the global economy.” – Roland Croes, CEO SETAR N.V. #SETARCreandoConexion

This year SETAR was present at the 2023-2024 Student Thesis Award Ceremony of the University of Aruba and presented both graduates from the faculty of Organization, Governance & Management and Social Work & Development with a prize. Congratulations to Evilienne Werleman and Denise Rafael on your accomplishment. We wish you all the best with your future endeavors! #SETARCreandoConexion

Recently our colleagues of the department of Data & Analytics and Information Security visited Colegio Nigel Matthew in San Nicolas during their Mercado di Estudio. During their presentations our colleagues shared insights into their daily jobs, their experience during their studies abroad and tips & tricks related to their field. For SETAR as a company, it's important to share knowledge and experience with our students to inspire and motivate them with their studies. #LifeatSETAR #CreandoConexion

Last week, for the second time, we hosted the compliance team, including Alvin Boekhoudt, Alvin Zievinger, Clayton-Alexis Croes and Qiuting Feng from SETAR NV. For three days, we shared knowledge about the GDPR, not just the legal aspects, but also practical experiences and implementation. The team can now apply these valuable insights as they prepare for the introduction of the new privacy legislation in Aruba. Many thanks to NTCS for once again making this wonderful meeting possible. Third time’s a charm... next time, we’ll meet in Aruba! Interested in an in-depth and practical GDPR training for your team or organisation? Feel free to get in touch with Anne Martine Koetsier. Make the world more privacy friendly. Follow Privacy Company.

Lotte aan de Stegge and I had the pleasure of hosting the SETAR NV team at our VodafoneZiggo Utrecht office last week! 🌟 Though our time together was short, it was a truly valuable exchange of insights and experiences. Clayton-Alexis Croes, Qiuting Feng and Alvin Zievinger shared their expertise on SETAR NV and provided interesting insights in the relationship between Aruba and the Netherlands, while we had the opportunity to dive into our journey with GDPR implementation. A huge thank you to Henk van Rooijen for organizing this great meetup. Looking forward to future collaborations – hopefully in Aruba next time! 🏝️ #setar #vodafoneziggo #sharingbestpractices #GDPR
