Jersey's mobile network has undergone significant development over the years. Here is a brief history of its evolution:

  1. Early Development (2014): Jersey launched its first 4G mobile network in 2014, marking a major milestone in the island's telecommunications history. This network was powered by JT, which has been a leading provider of mobile services in Jersey.

  2. Expansion and Recognition (2016): By 2016, JT's 4G network had achieved widespread coverage, with 95% of the island population having access to a 2 Mbit/s download speed. This achievement was recognized by Ookla's Speedtest Awards, which confirmed JT as the provider of the fastest mobile network in Jersey and Guernsey.

  3. Regulatory Challenges (2023): Despite the progress made, Jersey has faced regulatory challenges in implementing 5G technology. The government and local telecom providers have been working to establish a regulatory framework for 5G, but significant hurdles remain, including the need for infrastructure upgrades and securing necessary spectrum.

  4. Current Market Share (2020): As of 2020, JT retained the majority of the mobile market share with 52%, followed by Airtel-Vodafone with 24%, and Sure with 23%. The island had 124,262 mobile subscriptions, with 2,845 being mobile-only subscriptions.

  5. Infrastructure and Coverage: Jersey's mobile network is supported by over 120 mobile phone masts, providing a high density of coverage similar to urban areas. The island's telecommunications infrastructure is primarily managed by JT Group Limited, which owns most of the island's telecommunications infrastructure.

In summary, Jersey's mobile network has evolved from its first 4G launch in 2014 to the current state, where it faces regulatory challenges for 5G implementation. The network is dominated by JT, with significant market share and extensive coverage.
