Smart Communications Inc. said Monday it upgraded its network in Davao City to improve connectivity for residents and businesses including mall- and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and the cacao industry.
“This reinforces our commitment to deliver the best possible experience to our customers in Davao City and across the country, connecting families, enabling businesses of all sizes, and powering the country’s overall digitalization thrust,” said Roderick Santiago, first vice president and deputy network head at PLDT and Smart.
New sites and additional LTE capacity were rolled out in Davao City and across Mindanao including in the cities of General Santos, Butuan, Tagum, Koronadal and Digos and Maramag, Bukidnon and Polomolok, South Cotabato.
Among the beneficiaries of Davao City’s beefed-up network are micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and farmers in Davao’s cacao industry.
“As our business recovers, we credit technology for enabling us to market online through social media, especially given our limitations in mobility,” said Mirasol Magalasin, who leads a non-government organization.
