Cable & Wireless Jamaica Limited (C&WJ) pumps $2.8 billion in 120 cell towers

source: jamaicagleaner.com – Telecommunications provider Cable & Wireless Jamaica Limited (C&WJ) is spending $2.8 billion to erect 120 new cellular towers over 18 months, to upgrade its mobile and broadband services.

The cell towers, also known as telecommunication base stations, will be deployed islandwide, but a review of planning approvals over the past few months indicates that the majority will be located in the parishes of St. Ann, St. Elizabeth and St. Catherine.

Boost

The programme will boost C&WJ’s cell sites to more than 600. But this number is still far behind its chief rival competitor Digicel Jamaica Limited which has over 1,000 sites islandwide.
