Globe Telecom Inc. boosted the connectivity infrastructure for the ASEAN Summit 2026 by deploying free mobile signal enhancements and dedicated on-ground engineering support across key venues nationwide.
Working in close coordination with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and the ASEAN National Organizing Council, Globe said it worked proactively to ensure reliable, high-quality connectivity for the regional engagements. The initiative supported events in Metro Manila as well as in Cebu, Bohol, Iloilo and Boracay.
Ahead of the events, Globe conducted readiness checks across dozens of venues. The company worked alongside government partners to anticipate connectivity requirements and strengthen network capacity in advance to ensure seamless communication during the international gatherings.
During the events, Globe deployed dedicated teams on the ground to continuously monitor network performance and respond quickly to any issues. The deployment allowed delegates, organizers and participants to stay connected and focus on regional cooperation.
Globe also rolled out targeted enhancements and improved 5G coverage in high-traffic venues such as hotels and function spaces. These efforts resulted in stronger, more consistent mobile signals and faster data speeds for attendees.
The DICT commended Globe for its proactive contribution and its role in strengthening connectivity support for the ASEAN events.
“Globe stands with the government in enabling meaningful participation and collaboration during ASEAN engagements. By ensuring reliable connectivity, we aim to support the country’s role in fostering stronger regional partnerships,” Globe senior vice-president for service planning and engineering Joel Agustin said.
