Globe Telecom Inc. said over the weekend it continues to deploy 5G technology nationwide to deliver improved customer experience and consistent and reliable data services.
Globe’s 5G outdoor coverage reached 97.1 percent of the National Capital Region and 87.7 percent of key cities in the Visayas and Mindanao. 5G technology can deliver internet speeds up to 100 times faster than 4G.
It said that by expanding its 5G coverage across the country, Globe’s network becomes better prepared to service more 5G-enabled devices and provide faster connectivity, better video experience, less lag in gaming and easier sharing of heavy files for school and work. Wider 5G coverage also supports digitalization needs in business.
Globe said it logged over 3 million devices in its 5G network as of end-September. The company anticipates higher 5G device penetration among customers with the continuous expansion of 5G coverage and the release of more affordable handsets.
Globe said it made several entry-level and mid-range 5G models available for free if subscribed to a postpaid plan or at a price that is easy on the budget if bought separately.
“We are dedicated to boosting the mobile experience of our customers by providing them with faster and more reliable 5G connectivity. With this in mind, we remain relentless in our efforts to advance our 5G infrastructure and in making 5G services available to more Filipinos,” said Globe consumer mobile business head Darius Delgado.
Globe also has 5G roaming partnerships with some of the largest telco operators in Asia, the United States, Canada, Europe and the Middle East to allow customers to enjoy convenient high-speed data roaming anywhere they may be.
By expanding its cross-border alliances for 5G, travelers get better data roaming experience at affordable costs. Recent tie-ups include Vivacom (Bulgaria), Viettel (Vietnam), China Mobile (China), Tele2 (Sweden) and Vivo (Brazil).
