Guamcell Adds GSM Overlay to CDMA Network

Guamcell Communications - which operates a CDMA network on the island Guam says that it has now launched a GSM overlay across the island. Besides Guamcell's current coverage, the new GSM service will include a GPRS core network and customers can expect to see the implementation of 3G technology in the future.

According to President & C.E.O, Mark Chamberlin, "I am pleased to announce that Guamcell has just completed the construction of a brand new GSM network. As Guam's leading wireless service provider we are committed to developing our product offering in response to our customer's needs. With the introduction of this new network, we have strengthened our leadership position. The new GSM platform, will allow us to offer MORE exciting, high quality and innovative wireless communication technology. By adding a new GSM network to a portfolio that already includes our current CDMA network, the best in customer care and superior fulfillment services, we're confident that we will continue to lead the industry in this market."

Guamcell is now the new face of HafaTEL. Effective October 1, all HafaTEL locations will be operating under the Guamcell brand name. Guamcell will be offering both CDMA & GSM products & services at all of its retail locations.

Guam, officially the Territory of Guam, is an island in the Western Pacific Ocean and is an organized unincorporated territory of the United States. Guam's economy is mainly supported by tourism (particularly from Japan, Korea and Taiwan) and United States armed forces bases, and doubtless the move to support GSM was driven by the opportunity for roaming traffic from tourists.
