Posted: 27th May, 2011 By: MarkJ
uk channel island jerseyJersey Telecom (JT Group) has announced a new deal with Alcatel–Lucent that will see the operator launching a new trial of next generation LTE based Mobile Broadband technology in the UK Channel Islands of Guernsey and Jersey.

The trial will form part of JT's Gigabit Isles initiative, which seeks to make superfast internet access services available to the islands many residential customers.

The CEO of Jersey Telecom, Graeme Millar, said (Mobile Europe):

"LTE is an important step in our Gigabit Isles strategy, which will deliver the most advanced broadband access for business and domestic consumers in Europe. LTE complements our strategy perfectly and users can look forward to improved quality of service and faster speeds enabling their mobile devices to download HD quality movies and stream live television, download music in seconds and instantly update all their social networks.

This demonstration will give us valuable insight into the technology and its application within our markets, and give islanders a chance to glimpse the mobile technology of the future.

The Channel Islands is a world-renowned finance centre and the business community here has very specific needs, LTE will deliver the advances they seek and will redefine the mobile office, enabling business applications and tools to be accessed on the move."

It's understood that the existing 1800MHz radio spectrum band will be used to deliver the LTE service and download speeds of up to 50Mbps are anticipated.
