Called Long Term Evolution (LTE), this latest advance in mobile broadband technology can deliver download and upload speeds of up to 50 Mbps. In the near future, LTE will be able to provide speeds of up 100 Mbps.
Recognized as the most advanced fourth-generation (4G) mobile broadband technology, LTE will enable individual users to download a movie in minutes rather than hours, download songs in seconds and easily watch high-definition video on YouTube with no buffering.
Smart has fired up its LTE network in the country and is rolling it out.
To give mobile phone users a chance to experience the new service, Smart has set up a booth near Pats and Bombom (Station 2) in Boracay where interested parties can use laptops equipped with LTE dongles.
They can also use their Wi-Fi-enabled mobile phones, tablets or laptops in the Wi-Fi hotzone at the Smart booth which is powered by LTE.
