BTC has announced the completion of a major mobile network upgrade of thirty-five sites across New Providence and Grand Bahama, delivering expanded capacity, faster data speeds, and a more reliable experience for customers.

These upgrades are a part of the company’s ongoing investment in its LTE mobile network to support how customers live, work, study, and stay entertained every day. Customers in New Providence and Grand Bahama can expect stronger coverage in more areas, better call quality, and improved performance during busy periods.

“We are committed to continually enhancing our customers’ mobile experience,” said Drexel Woods, Director of Technical Operations at BTC. “With the upgrade of 35 mobile sites across New Providence and Grand Bahama, we’ve significantly expanded our mobile network capacity—delivering stronger coverage, faster data speeds, and more consistent performance even during the busiest hours. These enhancements reflect our ongoing investment in a resilient, future-ready network that supports how our customers live, work, and stay connected every day.”

The upgraded mobile sites include Sea Breeze, Malcolm Park, Pinewood Gardens, Gambier Village, Albany, Clifton Heritage, Marathon Road, Carmichael & South Beach, Coral Harbour, Prospect Ridge, Venice Bay, Nassau Village, Blue Hill Road, Fox Hill, Perpall Tract, Delaporte, Lynden Pindling International Airport, Coral Reef Estates, Poinciana, Thomas A. Robinson National Stadium, Pelican Point, and Bay Street.

The enhanced sites are a part of BTC’s long-term strategy to strengthen its mobile network across the country through continuous investment in advanced technology and infrastructure. This includes improved resilience to support critical connectivity during major events and in times of need.

The company has also confirmed that network upgrades are coming soon to the Family Islands, with an additional fourteen mobile sites scheduled for enhancement in the months ahead. These upgrades are designed to extend the benefits of increased capacity and improved performance to even more communities throughout The Bahamas.

“Our vision is to ensure that every BTC customer, whether in New Providence or on the Family Islands, can rely on a strong and consistent connection,” added Woods. “We are investing for the long term so our customers can enjoy a better mobile experience today, with a network that’s ready for tomorrow.”

The mobile network improvement project started in November 2025, and the final optimization of sites was completed in January.

In addition to its mobile network upgrades, the company is also continuing its rollout of BTC Air in the Family Islands, bringing enhanced next generation fixed wireless access to Eleuthera, South Andros, Long Island, and Cat Island in the coming months. BTC Air was launched in Bimini last year, and 100% of customers have been upgraded. BTC Air delivers broadband, television and landline services at a low flat monthly rate.
