Globe Telecom said it upgraded 884 locations in Metro Manila into 5G-ready sites to make 5G available in 80% of the region.

Ernest Cu, Globe President and CEO, said “With our aggressive rollouts, our network is getting closer to making the whole of Metro Manila 5G ready. Ultimately, our goal is to make the 5G experience as pervasive as possible,”

Globe said the following areas now have almost complete 5G coverage:

  • Bonifacio Global City – 97%
  • Makati Central Business District – 95%
  • Ortigas Commercial Business Districts – 97%

Globe said “Globe has earmarked a CAPEX of ₱70 billion for 2021, the bulk of which is for network expansion in key locations across the country. This year, Globe is targeting to install 2,000 new cell towers and will increase its fiber rollouts to connect more Filipino homes,”
