BDSNi
BDSNi (Bahamas Domestic Submarine Network international) is a fiber optic submarine communications cable system that links the islands of the Bahamas, and also provides connectivity to Haiti via a spur connection.
Connection to Haiti
[edit]As of 2010, BDSNi provided Haiti's only direct fibre-optic connectivity.[1]
The spur connection to Haiti was disrupted by the 2010 Haiti earthquake,[2] with the terminal in Port-au-Prince being completely destroyed.[1]
