JT has worked with Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation and Sony Europe Limited to create the Island’s second ‘LPWA’ new network. This is a Low-Power, Wide-Area Network that allows devices to connect to the internet and complements JT’s 3G/4G cellular connectivity.
JT is investing in new networks, in collaboration with Digital Jersey, to expand its ‘Internet of Things’ (‘IoT’) offering. Letting everyday devices collect and share data automatically.
JT has announced the appointment of Jo Waring-Hockley as the new Group HR Director.
Jo brings over 28 years of HR experience to the Channel Islands’ leading telecommunications provider. Previously Human Resources Director at Jersey Electricity, she has worked in a number of sectors in the UK and internationally. This includes engineering, transport, retail and communications.
JT has handed over £10,000 to Jersey Alzheimer’s Association after a year of fundraising by employees, which was matched by the company.
At the beginning of 2017, Jersey Alzheimer’s Association was chosen by employees as JT’s Charity of the Year. Over the course of the year, employees raised money in a variety of ways. This includes wrapping Christmas presents for customers in JT’s Queen Street store and auctioning off a giant cardboard cut-out of a Pug dog.
Graeme Millar, JT CEO, commented: “JT welcomes the new Jersey Telecoms Strategy as it gives a clear way forward for what we believe is a critical industry for the Island. Both from social and economic points of view.
