Globe has said there are 340 new cell towers built in Metro Manila and 230 in North Luzon. At least a hundred or more new cell towers were also installed in South Visayas and Mindanao. The new service is designed to help users stay connected in remote areas where traditional cell towers are unavailable and during emergencies when regular mobile networks are disrupted. Key pain points include: Congestion in dense areas High user density in residential towers and business districts can strain existing backhaul and aggregation points, leading to slowdowns and instability even when the “last mile” is fiber‑ready. Typhoons, heavy rains, and power disruptions continue to knock out towers, street cabinets, and submarine links, especially in flood‑prone or rural areas.
