Globe rolls out 4G mobile network
A TELECOMMUNICATIONS company recently launched its 4G mobile network providing its subscribers high speed broadband access with the added convenience of full mobility.
Globe Telecom's first-phase of the commercial rollout of the 4G mobile technology will use the global standard HSPA+ or Evolved High-Speed Packet Access, which will complement Globe's existing 4G Wimas (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) network, Globe said in a statement.
According to Globe, HSPA+ is a 4G wireless, mobile, high speed broadband technology that allows for peak theoretical download speeds of up to 21 Mbps with upgradeability for 84Mbps. With HSPA+ technology, subscribers will experience high peak rates, lower latency, improved “always-on experience”, better multimedia upload, high-speed web browsing, and faster streaming and downloads.
Globe 4G mobile technology now covers sites across Metro Manila, which include Marikina, Quezon City, Makati, Pasay, Las Pinas, Taguig and Manila City. The firm plans to expand its 4G presence by 2012.
Globe Telecom president Ernest Cu described the 4G mobile network rollout as among the firsts that the firm brought to the telecommunications industry.
“In 2009, we were the first carrier to launch 4G through our WiMax network. Today, we extend our leadership by taking 4G mobile. With our high speed broadband rollout, Globe will continue to lead in customer experience by giving our subscribers better, faster, and more reliable broadband connections on their phone, laptop, PC or tablet,” Cu said in a statement.
