You can rest assured that LIME will be bringing fourth generation (4G) mobile communication standards to Anguilla. The trendy telecommunications company knows that the importance of data and Internet capability has grown in Anguilla and will be rolling out 4G during the first quarter of 2014 affording a better customer experience and more reliability.
As announced on December 6th, the customer will be enjoying a much better experience through more reliable and faster data speeds, flexible pricing plans and more affordable mobile data devices. LIME will also be investing in its fixed broadband network that will lay the groundwork for more enhanced data services as the company positions itself to be the leader in data comms.
Additionally, LIME headquarters has moved from its one hundred and fifty-year London base to Coral Gables, Miami, to gain a better understanding and focus of what’s going on in the Caribbean. The company began its move in November and has disposed of some of its properties around the world in places such as Europe, Asia and the Indian Ocean. “There is a full commitment to LIME to continue to invest in the region through organic growth of current businesses but also through acquisitions. LIME has been around forty-two years in the Anguilla, and is clearly committed to being around for many more years to come in the country,” explained CEO of the North Caribbean, Jan Remmelg.
Sweden-based telecommunications company Ericsson will be providing network infrastructure and the outsourcing of technical field support for LIME. Ericsson is able to invest in tools, systems, processing and training that will enhance LIME’s service in Anguilla – things that LIME hasn’t been able to do. Neighboring islands – Jamaica, St. Lucia and Barbados – have already taken on Ericsson’s offers making Anguilla next in line.
The coming changes will require all ten current field support agents employed by LIME to work for Ericsson and change the LIME logos on their shirts to Ericsson. We will have to wait and see if these changes produce positive outcomes for the Caribbean but, until then, continue to value every moment.
