Neptune joins the satellite service market

Neptune Communications Jamaica has received formal approval from the Office of Utilities Regulation (OUR) to begin operations in Jamaica officially.

The approval came after Neptune satisfied all requirements to obtain a licence to operate across the island as the newest satellite technology service provider.

Neptune will provide dependable, independent redundancy for Government and Corporate clients to ensure more reliable connectivity in the country.

“The official approval was granted on May 10, 2022. Therefore, we have taken swift action to launch our suite of products and services.

“We aim to provide our Jamaican clients with the highest level of customer service using technology that is dependable and secure, to close those gaps, and to bring the most recent technological advancements to the Jamaican market.” said Brian Bennett-Easy, Managing Director of Neptune Communications Jamaica.

Bennett-Easy was appointed Managing Director in 2021, to lead Neptune’s business in Jamaica.

“Brian is a highly skilled executive. The depth of his market knowledge, his professional profile and his leadership skills have had an immediate impact on our vision for Jamaica.

“As they move to innovate across the Jamaican technology landscape, Brian and his team will have our full support,” said Julian Jordan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Neptune Communications Inc, Neptune’s parent.

Neptune has already secured commercial arrangements with global satellite service providers ensuring 100 per cent geographic coverage of the entire island and the Caribbean as a whole.

The company’s objective is to keep Caribbean governments and companies online by providing a suite of resilient telecommunications services.

“Within the coming weeks, Neptune Jamaica and the wider the group will finalize our operational cadence. Some customer service kits are already on the island, with more en route and on order in preparation for an expected
above-average hurricane season.

“This is a mission-critical rollout given the possible exogenous shock that may come. Our mission- critical drive is to ensure Jamaica is always on,” said Bennett-Easy.
