From November 29th to December 5th Digicel will be providing exclusive access to the participants of their Early Adopter LTE Programme.

Digicel added that it has a full range of LTE compatible (CAT 3 and CAT 4) devices in store, ranging from entry-level smartphones such as the Alcatel or Sony SP, up to the latest LTE enabled Samsung S4. A range of tablets will also be available.

Entry-level post-paid data plans start from $25CI/month.

LTE (Long Term Evolution) is a wireless broadband technology designed to support roaming Internet access via cell phones and handheld devices. Because LTE offers significant improvements over older cellular communication standards, some refer to it as a 4G (fourth generation) technology along with WiMax.

With its architecture based on Internet Protocol (IP) unlike many other cellular Internet protocols, Long Term Evolution supports browsing Web sites, VoIP and other IP-based services well. LTE can theoretically support downloads at 300 Megabits per second (Mbps) or more based on experimental trials.
