Sweeneys, Montserrat
Mobile data speeds never before experienced in Montserrat have now become a reality nationwide for the first time, as LIME launches its brand-new, superfast 4G mobile network.
LIME customers in Montserrat will now automatically have access to the same superfast mobile data speeds, as is now available in global nations such as the USA, UK, and Canada, as long as they have a data enabled device. This also places Monserrat on par with surrounding Caribbean countries already enjoying the latest in superior network technology. Customers now have the opportunity to connect and interact with the latest devices in a 4G powered environment transforming how the live, work and play.
LIME’s 4G network, which uses HSPA+ technology, means that mobile customers will enjoy faster data speeds with quicker access to the Internet. Customers can now watch videos at blazing speeds, simultaneously browse the web while making a call, send e-mails, download photos, apps and music at superfast speeds. They will also have the ability to conduct video conferences on their mobile device, plus much more. Since HSPA+ is compatible with the other mobile technologies already in use on the network, LIME mobile customers with 2G and EDGE compatible devices will be able to continue browsing and using data applications seamlessly.
Manager Ron Lewis
LIME Montserrat’s General Manager, Randolph Lewis said, “LIME has been working tirelessly to bring Montserratians a world-class network and this is now a reality. Our customers have been telling us they want a fast and reliable network that is comparable to the very best in the world. We have responded and have rebuilt our mobile data network with our promised $2.5 million dollar Upgrade Investment plan and rolled out a brand-new 4G mobile network, which will delight our many data and speed hungry customers just in time for the holidays.”
Minister of Communications, Works, Energy and Labour Hon. Paul Lewis said, “I’m extremely pleased with the nationwide availability of the new LIME 4G mobile network. The new network will be a catalyst in supporting the government’s initiatives to allow for wider broadband access, greater productivity and improved training in technology for all Montserratians.
As a responsible corporate partner, LIME has consistently demonstrated its support for the government’s vision in all areas, including the crucial area of information technology.”
LIME’s launch of nationwide 4G is another major milestone for the company and for Montserrat. The island is expected to have a second Mobile provider shortly and the telecommunications space will become a competitive one for the first time. General Manager, Randolph Lewis, said, “LIME welcomes competition. We believe it will ultimately benefit our current and new customers on the island. We have already engaged the team of the other provider. The public can be assured that we will be working closely with them to ensure that any action required from LIME to enable the delivery of their services to local Montserratians, is executed with speed and excellence.”
