Telecommunications company Globe has integrated a hyper gain antenna, which is designed to amplify signals by up to 200% in areas with connectivity challenges. This extends the reach of cell sites by 40%, aiming to address persistent tower site development obstacles.
Developed in collaboration with antenna specialists Comarcom Ltd. and Telkha Network Inc., the Spotlight Vega Antenna has been recently implemented in Tagaytay City, Abra de Ilog, Occidental Mindoro, and San Fernando, La Union. This deployment marks a significant leap forward in 2G and 4G connectivity across the region, potentially benefiting nearly 250,000 residents.
“This innovative technology from our partners will help us fill coverage gaps in our network and, thus, help us give better service to subscribers,” said Gerhard Tan, head of Technology Strategy and Innovation at Globe.
