"Irma has accelerated the technological shift", comments Eve Riboud, the general manager of Dauphin Telecom. With the development of 4G + and the deployment of optical fiber.
In terms of mobile telephony, the local operator has eleven sites in 4G against three before Irma (and another 15 sites in 3G). "We will be able to switch to certain 4G + sites by the end of the year and test 5G in 2019," announces the director.
"We also have a strong demand for very high speed," says Philippe Morel, "the marketing and sales director. "Dauphin is involved in fiberizing the territory," says Eve Riboud. The operator has selected nine strategic areas and is awaiting arbitration from Arcep. To date, Dauphin has already laid fiber in two areas, which represents around 70 km.
In addition, Dauphin Telecom will offer an alternative solution in November to have (fixed) internet at home thanks to the local radio loop. This concerns people who no longer have a fixed line.
In addition, the operator has reinforced its equipment. He installed category 6 pylons and built his technical shelters in concrete. This represents an investment of one million euros over four to five years.
“It's also real teamwork,” insists the director. “The team really wants to project themselves,” she adds. The company now employs 47 people representing several trades highlighted through a small promotional film. She will also celebrate her twentieth birthday on October 20 at a demonstration in Marigot.
