Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) has bumped up again their internet speed that can now possibly reach 1 gigabit per second. The technology mentioned is called the Long-Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) or 5G.
LTE or 4G was brought to the Philippines by Smart two years ago and many subscribers are now enjoying the fast data transfers in their mobile devices. Although the not yet 100%, the cell site upgrade is still on going so that many Filipinos can be reached. But here's another reason to be excited about. The LTE-A has reached our shores.
LTE-A, according to smart, can deliver data between 100mbps up to 1000mbps that's faster than 3G ten folds and twice as quick than LTE. Some call it 5G, other experts refer it as true 4G, but what matters more is that we're lucky to be one of the pioneering countries to have this advancement in mobile communication technology.
The LTE-Advance makes it possible to download a 10MB file less than a second, no buffering when watching Youtube videos and lag-free videocalls, as stated by Smart. But aside from the big bump in speed, subscribers can also benefit with its added capabilities of additional network capacity thus providing more reliable and consistent connections. I'm sure many of us will be testing where these signals might be found, but take note that you need a device that has LTE-A (ex. S4 LTE-A) capabilities as well.

They may be delivered at different speeds and volumes, using a variety of technologies, and meant to respond to a wide range of needs of the market – but all of it is aimed at bringing the benefits of the internet to every Filipino,” said Ramon Isberto, Public Affairs head for Smart and its parent company the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT)."
