January 17, 2019 – Press Release

Clear Mobitel (Guernsey) Limited (www.clearmobitel.com) today announces its intention to build a 5G telecommunications mobile and fixed wireless access network in Guernsey.

This will be delivered in partnership with one of the world’s largest telecommunications and software vendors. Clear Mobitel will deliver the new network using cloud-based core network infrastructure and software,

coupled with innovative visual and environmental solutions for on island and inter island connectivity.  The network design will not require the same density of external masts as was necessary for previous technologies, thus reducing the environmental and visual impact.

This investment will deliver new telecommunication services, including faster and higher capacity to the island, resulting in better quality business, residential and mobile internet services. The benefits will include taking advantage of the IoT (Internet of Things), emerging services and future new content delivery.

Harpal Mann, CEO and founder of Clear Mobitel stated that he was pleased to make available this exciting and innovative technology to the people and businesses of Guernsey.  This should enable the island to achieve its stated goals in being a leader in 5G technology in a cost effective and collaborative way.

The network will be designed to meet the stringent security requirements and safeguards required in today’s data mobility world, but also allow third parties to host new virtual applications and build local services allowing Guernsey to attract future inward investment.
