1st 5G
Globe At Home service roll out in Q2 2019
This advanced wireless technology promises
huge benefits, ability to handle large amounts of data at lightning-quick
speeds with ultra low latency
Globe Telecom formally announced its fifth-generation (5G) wireless
technology adoption in the Philippines, with the first 5G Globe At Home service
to be commercially available by the second quarter of 2019.
The 5G network will boast of higher speeds, lower latency, and better
capacity. This will enable Globe to deploy fixed wireless broadband at a fiber
speed.
Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu said the 5G technology would enable
Globe to use Air Fiber technology in relation to deployment of fixed wireless
broadband that would benefit individual customers at home and business clients
alike. “Air Fiber internet, which makes use of
fixed location wireless radios instead of fiber, could provide speeds
ranging from 50 Mbps to 100 Mbps,” Cu added.
