Five Eastern Caribbean islands are now connected through a regional internet exchange linking Saint Eustatius, Saba, Saint Martin, Saint Barthélemy and Saint Kitts. The exchange was developed by EUTEL, Saba Statia Cable System and AMS-IX, combining local facilities, submarine fiber connectivity and an internet peering platform. Networks can exchange regional traffic directly instead of routing it through distant international hubs, potentially reducing latency and transit requirements. Packet Clearing House has also installed supporting internet infrastructure on Saint Eustatius to handle essential requests closer to users. The project has already attracted a major international content provider. Its operators have not disclosed total port capacity, traffic throughput or construction investment.
