    BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - TELECOMMUNICATIONS giant LIME launched its Federation-wide 4G service yesterday (Oct. 15) – which would see customers in all corners of the island accessing the service – following a four-year $4.5M project.

     

    At the launch ceremony, which was held at Port Zante, LIME’s Country Manager David Lake, indicated that the services can now be accessed anywhere in the Federation. 

     

    “When we say 100 percent 4G coverage… we mean just that. Imagine every area in St. Kitts and Nevis where we live, work and play will be covered by Lime 4G.

     

    “Two years ago when we turned on the 10 4G sites, we committed to our customers that would complete this full federation-wide upgrade and today we are happy to report that we have done just that.” 

     

    Lake also promised unmatched speed while using the new network and challenged users to test the speed of the new service.

     

     “We are really proud of our full 4G network and the amazing things that could be done on it…ours is truly a network for the 21st century. We are multiplying our speeds and our network even faster. And you don’t have to take my word for it. I invite you to take the LIME speed challenge and see for yourself that LIME 4G is truly the fastest 4G network in the Federation.”

     

    He further indicated that LIME now has the most mobile sites on the entire island.

     

    “We not only upgraded all of our existing sites to 4G but added two new sites to provide the best 4G coverage across our two islands with the largest number of mobile sites.”

     

    Telecommunications Minister, the Hon. Glen Phillip hailed LIME for fulfilling a mandate put to them by him in the past.

     

    “Three years ago I met with the General Manager… and other service providers and my mandate to them at that time was that I wanted St. Kitts to have the latest and best technology and be the forerunner in the Caribbean in terms of technology. Today this is testimony of that discussion”

     

    He also stated that this ceremony is proof that good things are happening in St. Kitts and Nevis.

     

    “We have seen an increase in our penetration rates in mobile and broadband penetration and today I am extremely proud to be a part of this ceremony and demonstrates to St. Kitts-Nevis and the world that good things are happening here.

     

    “Let me quickly say that today’s launch of 100 percent 4G…is one that is gratifying, one that says to us that LIME is definitely serious when it comes to communication needs of our citizens.”

     

    Phillip, Lake and LIME’s CEO Phil Bentley cut the ribbons to symbolically launch the service to users.
