GLOBE Telecom is expanding its LTE-TDD and LTE-FDD footprint in Visayas and Mindanao as it activated its first site in Lahug, Cebu City as part of an initiative to further expand the telecommunication provider's mobile ultra-broadband infrastructure in central and southern provinces of the country. The activation follows the signing of a partnership last September 17 between Globe and Alcatel Lucent in Paris, France for the transformation of the telecommunication provider's wireless network infrastructure in the Visayas and Mindanao regions, upgrading it from WiMax to LTE-TDD and LTE-FDD ultra broadband access technologies.
