With the launch of
Digicel Broadband, the company is the first
telecommunications provider in The Cayman Islands to offer
next-generation Mobile WiMAX based on 802.16e technology.
Digicel first made its foray into the competitive corporate
space by offering fixed Wireless Broadband Voice, Data and
Internet services to corporate customers in the Cayman
market in December 2005 and in the Jamaican market in July
2006.
Digicel will continue Personal Broadband Services roll outs
in other markets deemed viable in the near future in
addition to building on its current fixed Wireless Broadband
Voice, Data and Internet service offerings to corporate
customers in the Cayman and Jamaican markets.
Digicel is leapfrogging the mainstream broadband space by
introducing a service that combines the quality of service
and speeds of a landline offering with the ultimate
convenience of wireless connectivity anywhere. Customers can
move the modem to any location within Digicel's service area
across the island and access the Internet at no extra
charge. Digicel Broadband packages range in speed from
512kbps up to 4 mbps with simple, competitive pricing.
"Digicel is one of just a few mobile operators in the world
to commercially launch an 802.16e ready network for personal
broadband service. By choosing a standard-based technology,
Digicel is driving innovation. As devices continue to
evolve, we will strive to ensure our customers have access
to the best services using cutting-edge technology," said
Digicel Group CTO Mario Assaad.
Mobile WiMAX technology delivers wireless broadband data
speeds with both Quality of Service and Class of Service
that exceed today's performance of 3G technology solutions
and opens the door to a new generation of consumer
electronics devices. Leading device manufacturers have
announced plans to have WiMAX-enabled devices such as
laptops and PDAs in 2008.
To celebrate the Digicel Broadband launch in The Cayman
Islands, Digicel is offering a special promotion through
Oct. 31, 2007 that makes it even easier for customers to
sign up. Customers can receive a free self-install modem and
one-month subscription with no activation fee and no
deposit. Package prices begin at just CI $25 (US29.95) per
month. Existing Digicel postpaid mobile customers
automatically receive discounted rates on all Digicel
Broadband packages.
