Smart Communications Inc. said on Wednesday it will roll out high-speed LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) service with carrier aggregation in more areas of the country.
This includes the deployment of four-component (4CC) carrier aggregation which can deliver data speeds of over 200 Mbps via 4CC capable handsets.
“This is not a test or pilot. We are bringing today 4CC to our customers as a live, commercial service that can deliver world-class mobile internet,” PLDT and Smart senior vice president for network planning and engineering Mario Tamayo,said.
“By deploying LTE-A, we will have an even more powerful network platform for offering a richer array of data services and digital life solutions to enterprises, families and individuals,” PLDT Group chief revenue officer Ernesto Alberto said.
