Multi-beam, Multiband Lens Antenna Technology

Besides expanding its cell sites and 5G network, Globe was also the first in Southeast Asia to deploy the new multi-beam, multiband lens antenna technology. This technology greatly enhances the coverage and capacity of 4G and 5G networks, enabling better penetration indoors and extending reach to densely populated urban areas, rural locations, and large indoor and outdoor events.

The pilot tests of this technology yielded impressive results, such as faster download and upload speeds and improved connectivity stability. As a result, Globe intends to expand the deployment of this technology to more areas.

Topped 5G Network Experience Charts

The company again topped the latest report of mobile analytics and insights firm Opensignal on 5G video experience, 5G upload speed, and core consistent quality. This is consistent with Globe's continuous effort to deliver network reliability and consistency to its consumers.
