Good news comes to the residents of Jersey as its local telecoms firm, JT Global, has decided to pen papers with Netadmin Systems in order to deploy super speedy FTTH broadband on the island (Channel Islands).

The aim is to rollout the services within three years to as many as 42,000 households and businesses in Jersey with speeds of 100Mbps or more.

As a quick reminder, JT Global has recently changed its name from Jersey Telecom - the business model stayed the same though.

It's worth saying that Netadmin Systems has been with JT Global ever since the launch of the scheme, however its responsibilities included only looking after JT's network trials. Needless to say that now the Swedish network expert has had its responsibilities expanded to the telecoms company's entire project.

Other firms such as Cisco, Genexis as well as Dimension Data have also pledged to help out with the project.

Dave Newbold, JT's Chief Operations and Technology Officer, was quoted as saying:

"With the implementation of a full FTTH network planned, and such an advanced network management system soon in place, Jersey is one of the most innovative and commercially viable environments to do business in the Western hemisphere."
