Following the announcement that Globe has activated 380 new 5G cell sites in Q1 2022, the telco has also revealed that it has fired up 252 cell sites in Q1 2022 to improve its coverage and connectivity across the country.
According to Globe, the additional infrastructure brings its total cell towers to 12,194 as of end-March. Its 5G network now covers 93% of the population in the National Capital Region (NCR) and 80% of the population in Visayas and Mindanao.
For 2022, Globe earmarked PHP 89 billion for its capital expenditures to build new cell sites, upgrade existing sites to 4G/LTE, accelerate the rollout of 5G connectivity, and ramp up the fiberization of Filipino homes nationwide.
“We want as many Filipinos to enjoy the benefits of mobile technology and have access to the Internet, even in far-flung areas. This way more people can enjoy the digital solutions that are accessible through our network and help uplift the lives of many,” said Ernest Cu, Globe President and CEO.
