Honduras Offers Real-Time Services in the U.S. Central
Time Zone

Honduras' location in the U.S. Central Time Zone means the country can provide real-time service to customers in the world's largest market.

Advanced Telecommunications Network Makes
Communications Easy

The newly liberalized telecommunications industry has opened up the mobile phone industry to competitors, who are offering better rates and services to businesses, and cell phone traffic is booming. The country's three fiber-optic lines to the United States have resulted in a communications delay of only 80 milliseconds, making VoIP, or Internet telephony, possible.

Honduras is connected to the world by three of the most advanced telecommunication networks in the region: Energia 1, Maya 1 and Arcos. This network guarantees redundancy of 99.9875% or essentially zero down-time, allowing for efficiency, speed and continued availability of communications and lower connectivity time and cost. AT&T and Sprint are two companies that provide reliable international direct dial services and offer businesses choices of services and products.
