PLDT sets sights on ‘long-range FWA’

04 March 2025

PLDT’s enterprise arm has announced plans to introduce long-range fixed wireless access technology to underserved areas across the Philippines with challenging terrain.

While specific locations and a deployment timeline have not been disclosed, PLDT pledges to deliver “fibre-like speeds” capable of supporting high-bandwidth applications such as cloud computing and e-commerce. By eliminating the need for physical cables, PLDT Enterprise emphasised that FWA is a more cost-effective solution that can be deployed regardless of geographic limitations.

“At PLDT Enterprise, we recognise that reliable connectivity is a critical enabler of economic growth. Through long-range fixed wireless access, we can ensure that no business—regardless of location—is left behind in the digital transformation journey,” said John Gonzales, First Vice President and Head of Enterprise Consulting Services and Technology Management at PLDT Enterprise.
