C&W Business launches services in Costa Rica
Cable & Wireless Communications (CWC) has announced its entrance to the Costa Rican telecom market through C&W Business, the company resulting from its purchase of Columbus International.
Columbus International has had a presence in Costa Rica as a wholesale and business operator since it purchased Lazus SAS in February 2014, but CWC was not present in the country before the announcement.
"We are mixing the legacy of CWC with Columbus' innovation, which will allow us to accelerate the growth strategy," commercial manager at C&W Business Costa Rica Fabricio Cerdas told daily El Financiero.
C&W Business Costa Rica will offer internet access, data, managed networks, cloud services, voice, video IASS and DRS.
Costa Rica is the first new market entered by the company after CWC's US$3.05bn purchase of Columbus International in November, which was finalized in March.
The new company merged CWC's fixed and mobile communications offerings with Columbus' residential cable TV and broadband, bringing converged services to the Caribbean. It expects to reach 50 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, overtaking Jamaica-based Digicel, which present in 26 countries in the Caribbean and 32 worldwide.
The company will operate under the brand name Flow, previously used by Columbus, which that will replace CWC's LIME.
