About Us

Windward Telecom has positioned itself as a low-cost wholesale provider of telecommunications services utilizing dedicated high capacity fiber optic cable, providing customers with high volume voice and data services to and from the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago and adjacent markets in the Eastern Caribbean.

Windward Telecom Ltd. on February 16, 2007 received a concession from the Telecommunications Authority of Trinidad and Tobago to provide international telecommunications services to and from the republic of Trinidad and Tobago. Windward markets its services to telephone companies, independent internet service providers, and other companies with high bandwidth requirements with expansion planned to the neighboring islands of Grenada, St. Vincent and Grenadines and Saint Lucia.

Using a combination of existing and newly-constructed telecommunications fibres which land in Trinidad, Windward Telecom will eliminate the international bottleneck. Competition results in:

• Improved quality of service as a consequence of physically diverse traffic routes through the Americas Two fibre, satellite and two new fibres being constructed into Chaguaramas
• Lower pricing as a consequence of lower cost structures and efficient use of IP transmission modes
• Faster deployment of emerging technologies from a multi-service softswitch platform

Services were launched in May 2008 to a number of domestic international and domestic carriers, internet service providers and enterprise clients.
