Panel discussion - What does end of life mean in the Caribbean?

Home to several older but underutilised Subsea cables, the Caribbean is a challenging market for operators. With small island nations dependent on subsea, connectivity is vital. As systems age, key stakeholders want new ones, but with difficult business cases, the debate is centring around what end of life means as the old 25-year rule continues to bend. This session will discuss:

• Looking beyond the typical commercial life of a system, how long can islands physically rely on older systems?
• What is the state of critical older infrastructure, such as MAYA-1?
• How long can upgrades continue to extend the utility of old systems as we approach the Shannon Limit?
