Digicel Switches On Barbados' First 4G LTE Network

To mark the 50th Anniversary of Independence, Digicel (Barbados) Limited is going into overdrive with the launch of the first 4G LTE network on the island.

This launch is the latest phase of an over $50 million investment in its infrastructure in recent months, which included the expansion of Digicel's network with 12 new sites and the nation's first full fibre to the home network.

The LTE network is now live in parts of Bridgetown and is set to deliver lightning fast mobile Internet speeds never before seen in Barbados.

The LTE network was officially switched on by National Hero and Digicel Brand Ambassador, the Right Honourable Sir Garfield Sobers, and Chief Executive Officer of Digicel Barbados, Conor Looney; while Sir Garry was also the first Barbadian to experience superfast Internet speeds before anyone else in the country using his LTE handset.
