Globe Telecom Inc. said it deployed 587 new 5G sites across the Philippines as it continues to invest in 5G technology with consistently rising demand for high-speed mobile services.
The telecom arm of the Ayala Group said the rollout resulted in 5G coverage of 98.69 percent of the National Capital Region and 96.95 percent of key cities throughout the Visayas and Mindanao, now serving about 106 towns.
“With our enhanced 5G coverage, we are delivering improved mobile experiences to our customers,” said Joel Agustin, Globe’s head of service planning and engineering.
“Our investments in network infrastructure reflect our dedication to providing equal access to the digital economy for all communities in the Philippines,” he said.
The company said that in December 2024, more than 9 million devices connected to Globe’s 5G network, showing the increasing reliance of consumers on fast and reliable connectivity.
