There are three main innovation standards in accordance with 4G: Wimax, LTE (Long Term Evolution, latest standard in the mobile network technology), and HSPA+. Each one has its own pros and cons. For instance, Wimax is very good for delivering home broadband, however not for mobile devices.

As mentioned previously, 4G/HSPA+ innovation allows existing Globe clients with 3G handsets to enjoy an improvement in call, text, and data services-not just those that can without warning invest in a new 4G handset. As such, 4G/HSPA+ innovation works 'backward' to include existing 3G users in its benefits, while together enabling new capabilities.

The Philippines in 2009

First to rollout 4G Wimax in the Philippines in 2009, Globe paved the way to a convenient and affordable way for Filipino consumers to access high-speed broadband from the comfort of their homes.

We see clients using broadband today, primarily for net surfing and social network interactions.

With 4G-mobile, this uptrend is expected to continue, and Globe is committed to expand more with advanced types like VoIP calling, video streaming, gaming, and other valued added services, things you earlier thought were only possible from home.

Globe will be the exclusive launch carrier of an amazing mobile phone, the Samsung's Galaxy S2. Additionally, it's not just mobile phones that are 4G- enabled, it will as well launch dongles and MyFi devices from Huawei and ZTE.

In layman's term, 4G/HSPA+ removes small, nearly imperceptible delays that occur in normal communication services people use today. This is critical in enabling new real-time services such VoIP and gaming, where those small delays would before, prior to 4G, have translated to noticeable impact.
