Globe boosts network with 6,446 cellsites

MANILA, Philippines - Globe and Touch Mobile (TM) customers from Baguio, Pampanga, Bicol, Cebu and Davao experience the strength and wide reach of Globe’s network which is boosted by its continuous rollout to reach a total of 6,446 cellsites today from all over the country and its investment in the Tata Global Network-Intra Asia Cable System (TGN-IA) that is now ready for service.

Up from 6,217 cellsites in 2007, the continued network expansion of Globe is aimed at delivering a stronger wireless network each year that reaches out to Filipino customers far and wide. 

Globe intends to bring a superior network to customers by constantly finding ways to improve network quality such as bringing down the percentage of dropped calls and failed call attempts, which are used to gauge higher quality of service and adherence to operating standards set for mobile operators. 

Globe also launched the TGN-IA Cable System as it is the exclusive landing party in the Philippines. Located in Ballesteros, Cagayan, the Philippines-Japan segment of the TGN-IA Cable System was completed in December 2008 and it is now ready for service. This marks a milestone for Globe as it provides an alternative access around Asia and a more direct route to the United States offering better connections.

Globe tours the rest of the country as it continues to celebrate Globe and TM’s network strength through a series of free concerts for the youth, which it kicked off last March 14 in Batangas City at the Lyceum of the Philippines University-Batangas. These jampacked concerts, dubbed as 24Ever Sound Trips, were topbilled by performances of leading Pinoy bands and singers.

Globe also offers the most number of OFW services worldwide through Globe Kababayan, bridging the distance between OFWs and their families so they stay in touch always. Globe’s per second IDD rates remain unmatched and it offers the cheapest call rate to US from a mobile.
