Digicel Jamaica, which appointed ZTP Corp to help deliver "easy-to-access wireless broadband internet services at never before seen speeds to users across the country," has now signed a deal to buy ZTE's turn-key WiMAX solution for the first phase deployment of a 2.5GHz mobile WiMAX network, set to launch in 2010.
Under the agreement, ZTE "will install a nationwide, high-speed, high capacity 4G network across all 14 Parishes of Jamaica, covering 60 per cent of the population at launch."
ZTE will deploy the network rollout plan "which includes the WiMAX network planning and design; equipment supply; customer premise devices such as modems, USBs; engineering installation services; and WiMAX network optimization," according to a Digicel statement.
“We are delighted to be building the country’s first nationwide WiMAX network in partnership with ZTE. Its leading product solutions and world-class technology experts will help us ensure that Digicel Broadband provides the best coverage, the best value and the best service in the wireless broadband market in Jamaica,” said Mark Linehan, Digicel Jamaica CEO.
