PLDT y Smart, en asociación con Huawei, se preparan para 5G

PLDT y Smart planean preparar su sistema para dar soporte a la red móvil de próxima generación — 5G.

En un comunicado de prensa, PLDT y Smart reafirmaron su asociación con Huawei Technologies Philippines para realizar conjuntamente investigación y desarrollo en 5G o tecnología inalámbrica de banda ancha de quinta generación.

En línea con la asociación, la empresa de telecomunicaciones trabajará con Huawei para liderar el desarrollo comercial de la red 5G en el país. Identificarán las áreas de innovación tecnológica necesarias para implementar 5G. Los planes también incluyen establecer un laboratorio de innovación 5G y crear una red demostrativa.

"Smart se enfoca en LTE, ya que nos proporciona la mejor plataforma para llevar internet móvil de alta velocidad a todo el país. Las instalaciones de LTE, con enlaces de transporte reforzados, pueden actualizarse rápidamente a LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) y serán una parte integral de nuestra futura red 5G", -- Joachim Horn, asesor principal de tecnología e información para PLDT y Smart.

Hace poco, 3GPP hizo un lanzamiento formal de la marca 5G y con el lanzamiento de las especificaciones de la Fase 1 en algún momento a finales de 2018. Aquí en el país, Smart espera que la tecnología llegue en 2020.

Backward compatibility with present hardware should be assured and efforts to improve coverage should still be continued as new standards/infrastructure are implemented

You know the Pinoy never makes mistakes when writing in English. They’re never wrong about anything. Just ask badingaling, bingbing, bongbong and dumbdumb.

New mobile standards were adopted to maximize stagnant mobile infrastructure and at the same time trick the public they are getting something better. Thanks 3GPP, world governments and telecom monopolies!

Above comments are well said and true. For the love of God set your bar high before proceeding to your next so-called agendas to earn money from consumers with sub standard services. The crocodile corrupt conglomerate of the Philippines has given again false claims to their less competitive services . Money hungry eating people.

this will fun specially that Smart under PLDT have major issues to even maintain their 2G services which they have a lot. Issues with the 3G connectivity thanks to PLDT and Issues with the 4G and LTE being slower than 3G on almost all area except on their favored locations.

Yep, throw 5G, add more issues.
