Globe Telecom network is now 100% 4G HSPA+

The Ayala-led telecommunications company, Globe Telecom, has announced that its entire network is now equipped with 4G HSPA+.

The telecom giant has just completed its 100% 4G HSPA+ rollout last month. Just last June, Globe Telecom became the first full 3G network in the Philippines.

“The Globe 4G HSPA+ network extends the company’s ability, as a telecommunications provider, to adequately serve high data usage of customers amid proliferation of bandwidth-intensive applications and growing preference for smartphones and other mobile devices,” Globe President & CEO Ernest Cu said.

Next in the pipeline is the improving the LTE network of the company. Globe and Alcatel Lucent are in partnership to expand the LTE-TDD and LTE-FDD footprint in Visayas and Mindanao. Aside from that, Globe is also testing out the latest in LTE technologies like LTE-CA and LTE-eMBMS that increases efficient utilization of frequencies and better streaming through LTE networks.

Samsung Galaxy S5 4G+ launching with Snapdragon 805

Samsung is launching an updated version of its current Galaxy flagship. This Galaxy S5 will pack the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 and will be called Samsung Galaxy S5 4G+.

To be launched in Singapore, the Galaxy S5 4G+ will be the first device to use the 4G LTE-Advanced service of Singtel which has a maximum speed of 300Mbps.

The new GS5 variant boasts a 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 CPU, a 5.1″ Full HD Super AMOLED display, 2GB of RAM and LTE Cat6.

Despite these changes, it is still a Galaxy S5 with the same fingerprint sensor, waterproof chassis, heart rate sensor and more. It will be available through SingTel’s plan from SG$0 to SG$688. We can also expect a Galaxy Alpha 4G+ by September.
