March 2017

On April 3rd and 4th, New York will host the WAN Summit, now in its fourth year, and will be bringing together companies and service providers to take a closer look at WAN market drivers and technologies. C&W Networks is pleased to be one of the event’s lead sponsors. Important IT trends, such as cloud services, virtualization, collaboration, and big data are impacting the evolution of enterprise WAN, including the migration of applications to the cloud, the limitations of the public Internet, and the impact of networking problems on application performance. Although many conferences touch upon these topics, no other event focuses on exploring the most significant trends that will impact CIOs, IT directors, network architects, and network managers in the years to come. WAN Summit 2017 will unite corporate WAN strategists and service provider executives to discuss common challenges, gain new perspectives, and build business relationships with potential suppliers,…

C&W Networks will be taking part in this year’s Capacity Latam Conference, the most important event for the wholesale telecommunications industry in Latin America.  On March 28 and 29, we’ll be attending this prestigious event in Rio de Janeiro as an associate sponsor. We’re eager to engage with other telecom professionals and discuss the major trends in our industry. Over the years, Capacity Latam has evolved into a can’t-miss opportunity for decision makers active in the region’s wholesale telecommunications community. C&W Networks’ senior-level executives will be representing the company and presenting the benefits of working with the company that has established itself as a leader in Latin America, a position further strengthened following its acquisition by Liberty Global. Conference attendees will get a firsthand look at the company’s latest solutions and the technologies we’ll be focusing on this year. They’ll see why C&W is among the best in the industry,…

Convinced of the power of teamwork, this year we’re joining forces with our parent company Liberty Global to present our business solutions at International Telecoms Week (ITW). After a successful experience at ITW in 2016, we’re returning to the annual meeting for the global wholesale telecommunications community even stronger than before, following our acquisition by Liberty. From May 14 to 17, we’ll be in Chicago to strengthen our business ties and to create new opportunities in a market that increasingly demands solutions that only C&W Networks has to offer. ITW is one of the largest events in which C&W Networks participates, and it’s a great opportunity to network with industry executives to position our products. Representatives from nearly 2,000 companies from 140 countries meet to discuss the current industry trends that affect us all. During this week, we’ll have the opportunity to showcase our solutions to operators, vendors, manufacturers and…

At Capacity Caribbean 2017, Paul Scott, president of C&W Networks, sat down for an interview with the event’s organizers. We’d like to share with you the highlights of that interview, as they cover the key developments and challenges that will be guiding our business over the course of the year. Last year was a very successful one for C&W Networks, as we saw increased revenue and profitability but also continued growth in our network reach, scale, and reliability. Some of our strategic priorities for 2017 include continuing to develop better capabilities and solutions that benefit our customers to help them strengthen their market position and achieve success. Our highly qualified employees in each of the countries where we do business, with their willingness to help customers accept and meet challenges, remain the cornerstone of our corporate culture and the key to our company’s success. We strive to make sound investments…

We’re pleased to share with you our parent company’s financial results for Latin America and the Caribbean (the LiLAC Group) during the 2016 period. The LiLAC Group reported $2.72 billion in revenue in the last year, for an annual growth rate of 1.2 percent. Of that total revenue, it’s important to highlight that Cable & Wireless Communications contributed $1.44 billion in 2016. When we examine the performance of other entities in the LiLAC group, we see that the company’s Chilean operation (VTR) reported revenue of $859.5 million while that of Puerto Rico reported $420.8 million. Liberty gained a good deal of traction with these units, as they helped compensate for the declining demand for fixed and mobile phone lines in certain sectors. Liberty Global is aware of the structural changes that each of the group’s entities has experienced, stating that in 2017 the focus will be on further improving results…
