Globe Amplifies 5G Network with Addition of 27 New Sites, Enhancing Outdoor Coverage Across the Philippines

 

#Globe has launched 27 new 5G sites across the Philippines in the first quarter of 2024. This move is part of Globe’s commitment to delivering state-of-the-art technology and superior connectivity to its customers.

The deployment further amplifies Globe’s 5G outdoor coverage, achieving an impressive 98.35% in the National Capital Region (NCR) and 92.86% in key cities in Visayas and Mindanao during Q1 2024. The introduction of these new 5G sites has enabled Globe’s network to support over 6 million 5G devices in March 2024 alone.

 

Despite the ongoing expansion, Globe has strategically moderated its investment in new 5G sites, considering current market conditions and the continuous exploration for viable use cases that fully harness the potential of 5G technology. This strategy reflects the company’s dedication to technological advancement while ensuring sustainable and strategic deployment.

In addition to boosting domestic coverage, Globe has also fortified its global footprint by broadening its 5G partnerships, collaborating with 167 global partners across 87 destinations worldwide. This vast network of partnerships guarantees that Globe customers can experience seamless 5G connectivity while traveling abroad, ensuring high-speed internet access and uninterrupted communication.

“We are steadfast in our commitment to innovation and excellence in connectivity. We believe in creating new opportunities for businesses and consumers alike, driving economic growth, and enhancing quality of life. Our strategic approach with 5G ensures that we not only lead in technology deployment but also deliver unparalleled connectivity and seamless experiences to our customers both locally and internationally,” stated Joel Agustin, Globe’s SVP and Head of Network Planning and Engineering.

5G technology delivers significantly faster internet speeds compared to its predecessors, enabling users to download large files, stream high-definition videos, and access cloud-based applications with minimal latency. With 5G, multiple devices can connect to the network simultaneously without compromising speed or performance, which is particularly beneficial in densely populated areas and for IoT (Internet of Things) applications.
