#Globe network expansion

Globe Telecom plans to deploy more than 400 wireless laser links across the Philippines over the next three years as part of efforts to upgrade its network infrastructure. Globe said the rollout aims to support the expansion of 5G and small-cell networks, particularly in locations where laying fiber cables is challenging. The initiative is part of Globe’s broader strategy to expand connectivity infrastructure and improve network capacity across the country. Globe has partnered with Grab to improve its mobile network by collecting real-world data from daily trips across Metro Manila. Eric Tanbauco, Vice President at Globe, said the partnership helps the company see real network performance and use the data to improve services. If it's true that 10% of subscribers are eating up imore than 10GB a month and overloading the network, it makes sense for Globe to sacrifice these 10% to improve network quality for the rest of the 90%.
