Bharti Global, through its Jersey subsidiary Jersey Telenet Ltd, says it expects to be operational by October this year.
The network and IT systems will be set up in partnership with two global companies – Nokia setting up the telecom infrastructure, and IBM as IT solutions provider.
Expertise will come from group company Bharti Airtel, the largest mobile service provider in India.
The company is one of four licensed by the Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority to offer mobile services in the Island.
Jersey Telecom already does so, Cable & Wireless say they will be up and running before the end of the year, and Colt Telecom has yet to make an announcement.
Mourant is acting for the Bharti in the Island and David Watson of Professional Trust Company has been appointed as general manager.
As yet no further information has been announced locally.
