Globe further expanded its 5G network in 2024, deploying 587 new 5G sites across the Philippines as the company continues to invest in 5G technology with consistently rising demand for high-speed mobile services.
This rollout resulted in 5G coverage reaching 98.69% of the National Capital Region and 96.95% of key cities throughout the Visayas and Mindanao, now serving approximately 106 towns.
“With our enhanced 5G coverage, we are delivering improved mobile experiences to our customers,” said Joel Agustin, Globe’s Head of Service Planning and Engineering. “Our investments in network infrastructure reflect our dedication to providing equal access to the digital economy for all communities in the Philippines.”
In December 2024 alone, over nine million devices connected to Globe’s 5G network, showing the increasing reliance of consumers on fast and reliable connectivity.
Globe is reinforcing its 5G leadership through hyper-personalization efforts, giving customers more to look forward to as activity in the 5G space is seen to gain momentum.
Beyond its domestic efforts, Globe also broadened its global presence through partnerships with 168 inbound and 182 outbound 5G partners in 99 destinations, further solidifying its position in the international market.
Globe’s 5G expansion is part of its ongoing network initiatives, which include the construction of 1,212 new cell sites and the enhancement of 4,613 existing mobile sites with LTE technology in 2024.
The company also deployed 67,456 fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) lines, prioritizing the optimization of existing fiber resources in line with more efficient capital expenditure.
Globe is increasing its builds this year to strengthen and improve its network, ensuring a smooth and reliable experience for customers everywhere while supporting economic progress and innovation.
