It has landing points in:

The initial capacity on the SMPR-1 is 2.5 Gbit/s per fiber and is expandable to 20 Gbit/s on 8 fibers. November 2009 SMITCOM chooses Nokia Siemens Network to deploy Coriant hiT 7300 DWDM Long-haul platform. The platform is up-gradable to 40 Gbit/s per wavelength. which brings the maximum capacity to 240 Gbit/s for the Dutch side. The platform has recently been upgraded to 10 Gbit/s and now provides over 5 Gbit/s of IP transit to St.Maarten.
