One Communications Completes Nationwide 2G Shutdown, Advances Network Modernisation in Guyana

One Communications (Guyana) has successfully completed the nationwide decommissioning of its legacy 2G network, marking a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing investment in modern telecommunications infrastructure and improved mobile connectivity across Guyana.

The exercise was undertaken in 5 phases, beginning on May 14, with the final phase completed in October 2026. The shutdown covered network sites across Georgetown, East Coast Demerara, West Demerara, East and West Coast Berbice, Essequibo and some Hinterland communities, bringing an end to the company’s operation of second-generation mobile technology.

Chief Executive Officer of One Communications Guyana, Abraham Smith, said the completion of the transition reflects the company’s commitment to building a stronger and more capable mobile network.
