FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where do you work?

Cariboss works anywhere in the Caribbean.

The company is based in Barbados, where most of its projects are, from offices to hotels and villas. Cariboss has also delivered projects in the Bahamas, Guyana, Martinique, Nevis, St. Lucia and Tortola, and travels for work throughout the region.

How do I fix Wi-Fi dead spots in an office or villa?

Dead spots usually mean too few access points, or access points in the wrong places, and plug-in boosters rarely fix them.

The reliable fix is to add access points where a site survey shows they're needed, each cabled back to your network. Cariboss plans the placement, runs the cabling and installs access points in offices, hotels, schools and villas.

Should we install Cat6 or Cat6A?

Cat6A supports 10 Gb/s over the full 100-metre channel and higher-power PoE, which makes it the better choice for most new construction.

Cat6 remains a cost-effective option for some office environments. Cariboss recommends the right category for each project during design.

Can you run fibre optic cable between two buildings?

Yes. Cariboss installs single-mode and multimode fibre between floors and buildings.

Projects include a fibre network 160 feet underground in Harrison's Cave, 3,200 feet of continuous fibre around the Barbados Turf Club racecourse, and fibre to all 440 rooms at the Sam Lord's Castle Redevelopment Project.

Where a cable can't be run, a free-space optics link can connect buildings by line of sight, as on the FirstCaribbean International Bank project at Warrens.

Do you install CCTV?

Yes. Cariboss installs IP CCTV cameras and NVRs for businesses, schools, hotels, homes and residential developments, running on the same structured cabling as the rest of your network.

Who offers the Siemon 25-year warranty in Barbados?

Cariboss Ltd. is the only Siemon Certified Installer in Barbados, and therefore the only local company that can certify and register a Siemon 25-year system warranty.

Without that registration, Siemon products carry a standard five-year warranty. Warranty terms for other manufacturers depend on the system installed.

Do you sell materials without installation?

Yes. Cariboss supplies Cat6 and Cat6A copper cable, fibre, gel-filled outside plant (OSP) cable, patch panels, connectivity, racks and containment from brands including Siemon and Panduit.

Email drawings or a bill of materials to dashby@cariboss.net for pricing.

How much does network cabling cost?

Cost depends on the number of data points, the cable category, the building and access to each location.

Every project is priced individually from drawings or a site survey. For urgent work, call +1 (246) 820-3759.

Can you work outside business hours?

Yes. Work is scheduled day or night around your operations, so banks, hotels, hospitals and schools can stay open.

After-hours rates apply.
