Ayala-led Globe Telecom Inc. expects to complete its full network modernization by the first quarter of 2013, leading to fewer dropped calls and prompt delivery of short-messaging service (SMS) messages for subscribers.
In a statement on Monday, Globe president Ernest Cu said the company’s $790-million network expansion and IT transformation would also mean faster Internet connection speeds for users.
Taking a shot at the competition, Cu said: “Others mask modernization with simply a business-as-usual change-out of old equipment. At Globe, our transformation is very different because it is indeed building a brand-new network.â€
He said the company’s modernization program was not a “mere upgrade†of existing equipment. He said Globe was building an entirely brand-new network by replacing all old equipment to ensure that the company was ready to cope with the demands of its users.
“Globe has effectively future-proofed the network with thrice the number of 3G base stations for better call quality and pervasive coverage,†Cu said.
