PLDT Inc. (PLDT) and its wireless unit Smart Communications Inc. are exploring the use of 5G-powered fixed wireless access (FWA) to expand high-speed internet access to underserved areas in the Philippines.
“We are excited for PLDT to lead the understanding and application of global trends on deploying 5G, participating in our deep dive on the proper roadmap to migrate to 5G SA, and ultimately help us determine the path to take to be able to realistically monetize 5G and enable us to achieve escape velocity,” Roderick Santiago, first vice president and deputy network head of PLDT said.
As the country continues to embrace digital transformation, PLDT said it remains dedicated to delivering reliable and cutting-edge network solutions that meet the evolving needs of its customers.
PLDT is spending P75 billion to P78 billion in capital expenditures (capex) this year to expand its network nationwide.
