The future of the 100 mbps promised by one of the giant telecommunication companies is now a step closer to being available to the public after the company activated its first cell site supporting the 700MHz frequency.
A collage posted on the GlobeICON Facebook page showed photos of the cell site as well as that of a screenshot of the speedtest conducted around the site. The speedtest reflects 100.32 Mbps.
Globe purchased the SMC assets along,with rival Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT). The sale and purchase agreement,to buy out SMC from Vega,Telecom Inc. was worth P69.1 billion.
The agreement states that both Globe,and PLDT will receive supplementary frequencies in the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands,which PLDT says will result in faster an,improved data services.
Furthermore, the NTC letter of approval on May 27 states,that Globe is given the permission to use the,following frequencies:
703 to 720.5 and 758 to 775.5 MHz
880 to 885 and 925 to 930 MHz
1710 to 1717.5 and 1805 to 1812.5 MHz
2380 to 2395 MHz
2555 to 2595 MHz
Smart will get to,use the following:
720.5 to 738 and 775.5 to 793 MHz
885 to 890 and 930 to 935 MHz
1717.5 to 1725 and 1812.5 to 1820 MHz
2365 to 2380 MHz
