Moving the GB Group full-blast into the 21st century, GENTEL reflects the group’s tradition of pioneering infrastructure projects. With the advent of telecommunication technologies and ever-increasing broadband requirements, GENTEL is the blueprint for the first-ever submarine fiber optic network connecting Haiti and the rest of the world. This new platform will allow users to benefit from voice, data, and video all bundled into one powerful medium at speeds thousands of times faster than dial-up modem and superior to satellite technologies.

Furthermore, with optical fiber’s advantages - reduced signal degradation, higher capacity carrying, and elimination of bandwidth bottleneck in the last mile - this new solution will provide limitless applications in the commercial and residential sectors.

Such applications may include call centers, data warehousing, and simultaneous videoconferencing, to name a few. In addition to state-of-the-art service delivery, GENTEL will provide significant cost-savings to end-users thereby making telecommunications cheaper and more accessible to all.

A major contributor to Haiti’s infrastructure and economic growth, it will position the country as a participant in the 3G community.
