Globe Telecom has improved connectivity throughout Mindanao by constructing 276 new sites and upgrading 2,509 sites to 4G LTE in 2023.

These upgrades play a crucial role in expediting growth in an area that has long been impeded by conflict and poverty.

Enhanced connectivity enables smoother communication channels, facilitating easier access to information and resources. This is particularly vital in areas like Mindanao, where geographical challenges and previous infrastructure limitations may have hindered effective communication networks. With improved connectivity, residents gain access to essential services, educational resources, and employment opportunities, thereby contributing to poverty alleviation and economic empowerment.

The transition to 4G LTE also delivers faster internet speeds and greater bandwidth capacity, which enables individuals and businesses in Mindanao to engage more seamlessly in online activities such as e-commerce, distance learning, telecommuting, and digital entrepreneurship. As a result, the region can tap into the digital economy more effectively, fostering innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth.

Globe’s network activities complement the government’s efforts to empower the region by providing better access to digital services, promoting economic opportunities, and improving the quality of life for its citizens. The company uses cutting-edge telecommunications technologies to facilitate Mindanao’s digital revolution and offer a resilient foundation for innovation and connection.
