Liberty Caribbean has taken a monumental step in advancing regional digital infrastructure by unveiling the first commercial 5G+ mobile network in the Eastern Caribbean. This groundbreaking initiative, launched under its consumer brand Flow and business arm Liberty Business, positions Barbados as the pioneer in adopting this cutting-edge technology. The company aims to transform technological capabilities into tangible social and economic benefits for Barbados and the broader Caribbean region. Marilyn Sealy, Senior Director and Head of Communications for Liberty Caribbean, emphasized that 5G+ is more than a technical upgrade—it’s an ‘infrastructure of possibility’ poised to revolutionize how people live, learn, work, and access healthcare. The initial rollout connects 22 high-impact sites across Barbados, with plans to achieve 50% population coverage by year-end and full island-wide availability by 2026. Liberty Caribbean has pledged to prioritize security, inclusivity, affordability, and education in its deployment, ensuring that underserved communities benefit from this technological leap. The launch, held on October 15, follows Liberty Caribbean’s successful 5G introduction in the Cayman Islands last year and is part of a broader regional strategy to expand next-generation connectivity across the Caribbean. Senator Jonathan Reid, Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, praised the initiative, highlighting 5G’s role as foundational infrastructure for national development. Liberty Caribbean reiterated its commitment to fostering public-private collaboration, community outreach, and education to maximize the network’s impact on sectors like education, healthcare, tourism, and government services. This milestone underscores the company’s century-long legacy of connecting Caribbean communities, empowering businesses, and driving innovation.
