Smart LTE's wider coverage

Smart's Internal testing resulted in an average of 10 Mbps to 64 Mbps in summer hotspots like Baguio City, La Union, Timberland Heights, Puerto Princesa and Sarangani.

Whether they are surfing the waves in Baler, Aurora, enjoying the food at Pampanga food parks or island-hopping in Batanes, with LTE now in these areas, our traveling Smart, TNT and Sun customers can stay connected wherever they are, said Mario G. Tamayo, PLDT and Smart Senior Vice President for Network Planning and Engineering.

More than letting our customers share their travel stories on-the-go via social media and keep in touch with their loved ones through various messaging apps while sightseeing, better connectivity can also boost local tourism and help businesses in the area earn more, said Tamayo, adding that in areas where Smart has already rolled out LTE and LTE-A, business owners and Smart retailers have reported an increase in sales because of better mobile data experience.

This is inline with Smart Communication Inc.'s efforts to connect all Filipinos with LTE and LTE-A.
