Valletta, Sliema, and Paceville are among the localities that have been upgraded to 42Mbps mobile internet speeds, in the current phase of Melita’s five-year €70 million investment program.

This upgrade will complement the Melita Wi-Fi service which already delivers speeds of up to 100Mbps.

Speed upgrades are being rolled out regularly in various localities and will continue over the coming months.

FCM Bank named best bank

FCM Bank was recently selected by Global Finance magazine as the Best Developed Market Bank in Malta.

The selections were made by the editors of Global Finance after consultations with corporate financial executives, bankers and analysts throughout the world.

“The banks that Global Finance is honouring ... are the best at targeting their products and offerings to the specific markets they serve,” said Joseph Giarraputo, publisher and editorial director of Global Finance.

“These banks have weathered the volatile conditions of the past few years and are primed to take advantage of global conditions – as they improve.”

FCM Bank’s chief operating officer Vincent Ma noted: “One of Malta’s big banks won the title last year and this award demonstrates how the industry recognises FCM Bank’s products and services against Malta’s best banks.”

Emcare launches Pocket Pal

Emcare recently launched Pocket Pal together with its partner, Lloyds Pharmacy, at the Bournemouth Care Show.

Pocket Pal provides care workers who need to travel and visit different homes with their schedule for the day, as well as the clients’ profiles, contact details and GPS directions.

The care providers are able to check off tasks from their to-do list, take notes, as well as report any incidents. This electronic data and other instant updates are sent from the care worker to the head office and vice versa, thus enabling administrators to update the care workers’ appointments list from the office and reschedule tasks in real-time.
