he TelEm Group of Companies is the proud local Telecommunications provider on Sint Maarten. The company is small on a global scale, but a giant when to comes to setting its telecommunication ambitions. TelEm is the only Quad Play provider on Sint Maarten, offering 4G LTE Mobile services, landline, fixed internet, and IPTV services to its residents,
businesses and visitors. We are currently rolling out Fiber to the Home (FTTH), replacing our copper (DSL) network, ensuring a reliable, high-speed and future-proof internet connection for everyone. Neither Hurricane Irma in 2017 nor the Covid-19 pandemic in 2019/2020 have slowed our ambitions. Indeed, they have only accelerated it. Operating in a hurricane zone strengthens our resolve to put our high-speed infrastructure underground so that service recovery time after any storm is minimal. The increased demand for high-speed internet at home has also resulted in stepped up efforts to roll out FTTH even faster. With fiber, we now offer a more reliable connection, with more upload and download speed for an affordable price, which is what our customers have demanded from us in these trying economic times.
