Cayman Islands Technology Infrastructure

From mobile phone service to internet and satellite TV, Cayman’s utilities services are on par with those of the UK, Canada, the United States and the best in the Caribbean. Internet is available throughout Grand Cayman, offering the fastest speeds in the Caribbean. 

Modernising infrastructure is a top priority in Cayman, with the ultimate goal of becoming a smart island that uses cutting-edge technology to make lives easier and business more efficient. In pursuit of these goals, the government is exploring options to connect Cayman to the USA via a new undersea fiber optic cable to provide lower cost and lower latency internet connectivity. While costly, such an undertaking will open a lot of opportunities for growth and development on Cayman.

Technology Infrastructure in the Cayman Islands

Secure, Efficient and Reliable IT Infrastructure


Cayman Enterprise City is serviced by two sub-maritime cables and has connectivity from three internet service providers. Each operates independently and has on Island spares for all critical network elements. As far as bandwidth, through pure fiber, we offer to clients an aggregate of up to 450Mbps down, 400Mbps up, as well as Private SSID/VLAN (your own private network, using our services), Fixed Public IP or Custom/Private Bandwidth on wired connections.

Your servers and data (and thereby your company) are subject to the laws of the jurisdiction where they are resident.  Maintaining your digital assets in the Cayman Islands strengthens your permanent establishment as a Cayman registered entity.
