Liberty VI has reported significant network improvements in the first half of the year, expanding 5G coverage and increasing network capacity and speeds by up to 26% for customers across the U.S. Virgin Islands.

“Liberty Mobile is very committed to continue investing in the USVI to provide our customers with a best-in-class experience,” said Ravindra Maywahlall, general manager of Liberty VI. “Our engineering team will continue to improve coverage and add capacity with network expansion projects scheduled across the territory over the upcoming months and years.”

In the past seven months, Liberty VI said it has added five new sites, enhancing network coverage and capacity. The most recent cell site additions include Mountain Top in St. Thomas and Sion Farm in St. Croix.

Additionally, the telecommunications company said it is actively working on new fiber-to-the-home projects to offer a stronger internet experience. The company recently began a project in the Mt. Pleasant Estate area of St. Croix, which is expected to take approximately five weeks to complete. This project aims to provide residents and businesses with access to faster, more resilient True Fiber internet.

Liberty VI will continue to announce more fiber-to-the-home projects as additional permits are obtained. For updates on ongoing and upcoming construction projects, the company provides information on its website: www.libertyvi.com/news.
