Globe has expanded its 5G network coverage to 212 sites in Visayas and 25 in Mindanao, for a total of 237 new sites with 5G coverage. It can be recalled that Globe had already fired up 380 new 5G sites in the first quarter of 2022 to augment outdoor and in-building solutions in Metro Manila, Rizal, Cavite, Batangas, Bulacan, Davao, Cebu, Misamis Oriental, and Iloilo. “We believe that the expansion of 5G technology in Visayas and Mindanao is essential for driving economic growth, supporting innovation, and providing access to fast and reliable digital services for residents and businesses in these regions," said Joel Agustin, Globe Senior Vice President for Network Planning & Engineering. According to Globe, 5G technology can deliver internet speeds up to 100 times faster than 4G. Globe projects a higher 5G device penetration among its customers this year with the continuous expansion of 5G coverage in the country and the release of more affordable 5G-capable handsets. Globe says that as of the end of December 2021, it detected over 1.62 million 5G devices in its network, a huge chunk of which came from prepaid brands. “We expect this momentum to continue, especially as all major device partners today carry and banner 5G handsets in their portfolios coupled with our continued 5G network expansion,” said Darius Delgado, Globe Head of Consumer Mobile Business.
