Upgrade works underway ahead of 5G launch

Upgrade works are underway at mobile sites across Jersey as the island prepares for the roll out of a new 5G network.

Sure by Beyon said ahead of the launch of its new 5G services in 2026 it would upgrade the 18 pre-existing mobile sites on the island throughout November and December.

The telecommunications network said in October it would spend £100m across the Channel Islands and Isle of Man over the next five years, with nearly half of the money put towards delivering 100% 5G coverage.

Simon Baldwin, Sure's chief commercial officer, said 5G would transform how people "live and work in Jersey, unlocking new possibilities for families, businesses and the wider community".

Mr Baldwin said the company was future proofing its network "with cutting-edge technology to deliver outstanding speeds, coverage and resilience for our customers".
