LIME offers 4G experience

Telecommunications provider LIME last night announced that, on March 12, it would be boosting the experience of customers on its mobile network to include 4G technology.

"Starting Monday, the company will be rolling out the red carpet for customers at select LIME locations across the island for them to be the first to experience the superior technology which is only available in the United States, Japan and some European nations," LIME said in a release. "The enhanced services in what have been dubbed '4G Experience Zones' will be concentrated in key commercial and residential districts."

LIME said customers who operate 4G-enabled devices in and around these areas would be able to access super-fast data transmission speeds.

Grace Silvera, LIME's regional vice-president, marketing and corporate communications, said the company would be the first to offer an opportunity for customers to experience the capability of the most advanced network technology in the world within the selected zones covering the large business district of Knutsford Boulevard and sections of New Kingston, Carlton Crescent, Half-Way Tree Road, Portmore Mall and the immediate surrounding areas plus Fairview Mall in Montego Bay, St James

LIME noted that 4G-compatible devices include the Samsung Galaxy SII, BlackBerry Bold 9900, the Apple IPhone 4S, and the Huawei Mifi E586.

The company invited customers to visit the LIME locations on Monday to experience 4G with the latest devices on market. They will also be treated to giveaways including phones, tablets, credit and mobile Internet modems.
