According to Cu, the company plans to activate more than 500 LTE sites across the country before the year ends. The LTE sites are in highly urbanized and populated areas and in major business districts that includes Metro Manila, Metro Cebu, and Metro Davao. Cu said that Globe is maximizing the use of the previously idle 700 MHz band in fulfillment of its commitment to the National Telecommunications Commission to improve the overall internet experience of its customers.
Aside from this, the company is also keen to improve its expansion program for its corporate data network to address bandwidth requirement of its enterprise clients as they make use of various data solutions that will improve business efficiency, enhance productivity, and boost competitiveness. Globe is all set to upgrade its corporate sites with the deployment of fiber-optic technology.
And with its vision of having 1st World Internet Connectivity and as part of its efforts to create an internet superhighway nationwide, Globe recently completed the deployment of fiber broadband technology in Binondo, Manila, an initiative that will provide amazing internet experience to the customers in that district. Globe plans to deploy fiber optics in 20,000 barangays by 2020 that will provide ultra-fast internet access to around 2 million homes nationwide.
