Cayman Brac Cellphone Customers See Improvements

Cell phone users on Cayman Brac' West End Area will experience immediate improvement in coverage service when on their phones. This comes after work started in April on the West End Cell Site, was completed today after final testing took place.

Several unique challenges have been overcome, However achieving this milestone for these islands in particular the Brac is a good one says Cayman And Wireless Brac Office Manager Darrel Rankine. Just in time for the holiday season it could not have arrived at a better time, and I am sure it will be appreciated by our residents and traveling customers alike.

Cleavy Scott Manager of Wireless Services says we are glad this project is completed enabling residents and visitors on the Brac better Mobile service in the coverage area.

This improvement in service is another step towards Cable and Wireless' commitment to achieving island wide coverage for our mobile customers.

Cable and Wireless General Manager Mr. Tim Adam would Particularly like to thank those members of staff who have been involved in this achievement. True to form of so many developments in Cayman Brac the construction and implementation of the cell site required the ingenuity, resourcefulness, and sheer hard work on the part of a number of experts on our team.

I would also like to thank or very loyal customer in Cayman Brac who have patiently waited for this major improvement in our service there. And I would like to assure them that we have ever intention of continuing to keep Cayman Brac right up there in the development of its telecommunications infrastructure...

Hoteliers and condominiums operators can now actively encourage their guests coming from North America to bring their cellular phones with them, and also enjoy the digital roaming service that Cable and Wireless is now providing.
