The rollout of fifth-generation (5G) wireless technology has ushered in a new era of connectivity, where streaming is seamless, downloads are instantaneous, and user experiences are enhanced.
Compared to 4G, 5G offers 20 times faster speeds, 100x better capacity, and reduced latency. No wonder 5G is the new gold standard.
DITO Telecommunity, the country’s fastest-growing telco provider, prides itself on being the only telecom operator to date that offers the more advanced 5G Standalone (SA) technology. This tech delivers the full potential of 5G—or “true 5G,” if you will.
In fact, DITO’s commitment to 5G SA technology has been recognized internationally. At the recent 5G Core Summit in the United Arab Emirates, DITO received the “Best Network 5G SA Core Network Construction Award” by Informa for its outstanding contributions to 5G infrastructure development.
“Our strength lies in our standalone 5G technology that brings forth greater capacity, wider coverage, and internet connection speeds that are 20 times faster than 4G. This allows us to deliver minimum average broadband speeds (MABS) of 639Mbps for 5G for all sites,” said Ret. Major General Rodolfo Santiago, DITO Chief Technology Officer.
“I believe we are on track in targeting around 87 percent network coverage before the year ends, strengthening our current coverage, providing more reliability, and capacity,” he added.
As of this writing, DITO has over 7,000 cell sites and 84% network coverage.
DITO Home, the company’s wireless broadband service, is also powered by 5G SA technology, offering speeds of up to 500 Mbps. This provides a significant advantage over traditional wired connections by offering faster speeds and greater reliability.
5G wireless broadband provides fiber-like speeds (or even faster in some instances) without messy wires and heavy installation. It’s especially beneficial in crowded urban areas where wired connections are impractical.
5G wireless modems are also robust. They can continue to provide reliable service during disasters since they aren’t affected by damaged cables.
With DITO Home, Filipino households can now enjoy affordable, high-speed true 5G connectivity with greater convenience, allowing faster uploads and downloads, more gaming, streaming, and browsing—without interruptions.
