Briers said: “We recently received the hardware from Japan, and this should be up and running for testing purposes within weeks. It's been pretty hectic to get to this stage, and there's integration left to do, but we can now start thinking more about the applications rather than the hardware.”
The project is intended to be operational by early May this year, a deadline that Briers said was still attainable: “The first 3G NEC videophone is going to be on the island on April 9, and we should have the network running to support it by then.”
Manx Telecom is wholly owned by BT, and claims that its 3G network will be the world's first to be operational.
