Globe Telecom completed 30 percent of its planned $700-million landmark mobile network modernization program.
The program aims to bring a radically enhanced network for customers in Davao and Compostela Valley through fast call connections, on-time delivery of text messages, and reduced incidence of dropped calls, even at peak hours and traffic-heavy occasions.
To date, Globe customers in South Luzon; the Davao Gulf provinces, including Davao City; and Compostela Valley, now enjoy improved services such as quick call connections, rare dropped calls, and faster access to “unli” offers.
Davao City and adjacent provinces are also now fully equipped with new generation mobile systems supporting high-speed data, which brings speeds up to 5 mbps, Globe president and CEO Ernest Cu said.
The network modernization of Globe will also significantly enhance its 3G footprint in more towns and municipalities, translating to more stable 3G signal for customers as well as improved mobile browsing experience.
Globe is rolling-out over 10,000 kilometers of fiber optic cable, which will significantly increase capacity, resiliency and better traffic management to accommodate and protect more voice, SMS and data traffic.
