PLDT wireless subsidiary Smart Communications, Inc. has completed its network improvement efforts in Metro Cebu, paving the way for greater coverage and speeds on its LTE and 3G networks in the country’s second largest urban hub.
PLDT is also making available LTE support for its Sun customers and launching it in its main “Sun country,” Cebu.
“With our improved LTE network in Cebu, many opportunities and possibilities are now within the reach of our Cebuano Smart and Sun subscribers,” said Mario G. Tamayo, PLDT and Smart Senior Vice President for Network Planning and Engineering, adding that by the end of the year, Smart LTE will be rolled out in over 25 areas in Cebu province.
“After completing Metro Cebu, we will roll out LTE to the rest of the province this year, including some of Cebu’s tourist-popular and progressive areas, such as Daanbantayan, Moalboal, Oslob, and Toledo City.
“Overall, we target to blanket 70% of the country’s population with LTE by the end of this year,” he added.
Metro Cebu is home to more than 2.8 million Filipinos, while passenger arrivals at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport hit nearly 9M last year.
