Ericsson has been chosen by JT to install its next generation networks intended to provide mobile and fixed line services.
JT says its investment will keep pace with 'the rapidly changing world of communications technology', which it says will give customers across the Channel Islands 'access to the services and products of the future'.
Daragh McDermott, CEO of JT Group, said the contract was signed earlier this week. It includes mobile network modernisation and upgrades to JT’s CORE, Radio Access Network (RAN) and Managed Services networks.
“We are delighted to be working with such a well-known and respected company. Communications technology never stands still, it’s a rapidly changing environment but as with the roll out of fibre, we need to stay ahead of the game and this programme will provide the transformation and leap in technology now required to meet the future demands of businesses and consumers.”
Katherine Ainley, Chief Executive of Ericsson UK and Ireland, added: “Ericsson and JT share the same passion and vision for next-generation connectivity to create new possibilities for people, businesses and society. We are excited to be building the network of the future for the Channel Islands; this will deliver leading connectivity and create a platform of innovation that will power new consumer and enterprise services, advance the digitalization of industries and boost future economic growth.”
