Digicel set to launch new 3G+ network
Digicel Bermuda is set to launch its 3G+ network across the Island next year.
The rollout of the new service, which is already underway, was announced by Digicel chief executive officer Wayne Caines on stage at the final night of the Bermuda Music Festival.
"From next year, Digicel's bigger, better 3G+ network will be the fastest network available in Bermuda," he said. "Digicel always sets new standards in everything it does - and this move is no different.
"Our 3G+ network will use the very latest in 3G technology which delivers speeds that are a number of times faster than the standard 3G speeds that customers in Bermuda have available. To ensure our customers always get the best, we have chosen what is known as 'Evolved HSPA technology' - which is only in use by 12 other networks across the globe.
"That means Digicel customers will enjoy ground breaking Internet speeds on their handsets and access to the biggest and best network wherever they are on the Island and at an affordable price."
In addition to launching its 3G+ network, Digicel will continue to maintain and enhance its data-enabled island-wide EDGE 2.5G network.
'3G+' is a brand name adopted by Digicel to represent the 'evolved high-speed packet access' technology it will be deploying.
