Globe rolls out 4G mobile technology in PH

Globe Telecom Inc. recently began the commercial rollout of its fourth generation (4G) mobile technology in a move to provide high-speed broadband access to its subscribers.

The technology, said to be the first in the country, will complement the company's existing 4G WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) network.

The first phase of the rollout covers Metro Manila sites such as Marikina, Quezon City, Makati, Pasay, Las Pinas, Taguig and Manila City.

Globe said it plans to expand its reach into other areas in the Philippines by next year.

"With the uptake in broadband both on mobile and through other devices, customers want faster broadband in more places," Globe president and chief executive officer Ernest Cu said in a statement.

Globe's 4G technology utilizes the global standard HSPA+ (Evolved High-Speed Packet Access), which allows for download speeds of up to 21 megabits per second (Mbps).

Other technologies in the 4G category include WiMAX and Long Term Evolution (LTE).
