Green mobile: Digicel is using Caribbean sunshine to power handsets, chargers and base stations, plus using wind powered base stations

[Marketwire] Digicel Group, the largest telecommunications provider in the Caribbean and new entrant to the Central American and South Pacific markets, is leading the way in the telecommunications industry by pioneering green technology in the supply of solar-powered handsets and chargers and the use of alternative fuels to power its base stations.

"Not only are we doing our bit for the environment but our exploration and implementation of green technology is actually helping to meet our objective of connecting the unconnected and bridging the digital divide particularly in rural communities where there is no reliable source of electricity," said Colm Delves, Digicel Group CEO. "Our projects further demonstrate the commercial viability of implementing renewable energy systems on a broad scale and we are proud to be helping establish best practice for future green power."
