Mobile technology is woven into our daily lives. From catching up with friends and family online, to paying for your coffee on your phone, to streaming your favourite show on your lunch break, we rely on our networks on the go more than ever.
In small, close-knit communities like ours, it’s these hidden connections that help us stay in touch with the wider world while going about life at home.
To support these needs, we are making a major investment to upgrade the mobile network in Guernsey, built using the latest technology, including 5G. This work will improve everyday connections and ensure our island has a network capable of meeting the increasing digital demands of the future.
"Our upgraded network is designed to support greater connections today, while also being ready for the technology demands of the future."
What a future-ready network means for you
This upgrade is not just about faster speeds. It is about creating a network that helps people, businesses, and community connections thrive.
Staying connected on the go
The upgraded network will make everyday life online and on the go easier and more dependable. Large photos and videos will upload faster, pages and apps will respond more quickly, and multiple people can be online at the same time without slowing each other down.
You'll have reliable access to the services you need without interruptions, whether it's staying in touch with friends and family online, checking the news, or managing apps and devices at home. This quiet, behind-the-scenes improvement will help your connections keep up with modern life.
Flexible, reliable business connections
From small start-ups to global companies, the upgraded network supports the technologies businesses rely on every day. Teams can work flexibly and securely, collaborate online, and know the network has the modern capabilities to keep up with their needs now and in the future.
This allows businesses to focus on what they do best while having confidence that the infrastructure can support growth and new technology.
Connections that support life on the island
Many customers rely on personal alarms, lifelines, and connected devices at home. Local businesses use mobile technology and apps to operate smoothly and stay in touch with customers. As the network is upgraded and 5G is introduced, these everyday services will work more dependably and support more devices at once, even in busier areas.
This quiet, behind-the-scenes improvement helps modern life run smoother and lays the foundation for new services and innovations in the future.
With 5G technology built into this network, the possibilities expand further. Faster downloads, more reliable connections in busier areas, and the ability to support more devices at once are just the start. This invisible infrastructure makes modern life smoother and opens doors for new services and innovation.
What this means today and tomorrow
Much of this work happens behind the scenes, but it has a real impact on everyday life. You will notice fewer interruptions, more consistent signal, and smoother use of the apps, websites, and services you rely on.
As part of our £48 million investment to build Guernsey's most advanced mobile network, old masts are being replaced with new technology to improve coverage, capacity, and performance.
We'll keep our 5G information page updated with the latest on the works and where they're happening. Thank you for your patience while these important upgrades are completed. This work is laying the foundation for a future-ready network that will support island life for years to come.
