“Each year, we invest a significant portion of all revenues obtained in Jamaica to expand and improve our network. In fact, we are investing way above the market standard for the telecommunications industry,” stated Stephen Price, Managing Director of FLOW Jamaica while speaking on the second day of the Jamaica Investment Forum (JIF) at the Montego Bay Convention Centre.

He made the statement after sharing that Flow was set to roll out its new and dedicated Fault Tolerant Network for business customers later this year. Put in perspective, a fault tolerant network provides multiple redundancies to prevent a network from failing in the event of an unexpected problem or error.

Price further informed investors that efforts were underway to expand the company’s LTE coverage to 87% of population by the end of 2018 through to 95% by 2020.

“This means that the services that we provide to you, as potential investors, are the best in the region - bar none,” concluded the Flow Managing Director.

Price was quick to encourage the attendees, adding that Jamaica is a good investment opportunity. He stated, “Flow Jamaica, in its many iterations, is one of the longest standing investors in this country and we are here for the long haul.”

Flow’s investment in Jamaica began in 1883, when its founder, John Pender expanded operations to Jamaica through the installation of 50 telephone lines in Kingston. Since then, the company has invested in the development of fixed, broadband and mobile services across the island, bringing internet services to more communities across Jamaica while deploying the island’s fastest mobile network technology.
