Globe WiMAX will be in Leyte by the end of the Year
According to the report, Globe will make the WiMAX available to the internet users in Leyte by the end of the year.
WiMAX or Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access is a telecommunication technology that provides wireless transmission of data using a variety of transmission modes, from point-to-multipoint links to portable and fully mobile internet access. It is much faster and more affordable compared to the existing Globe Broadband products which can be availed at PhP795 per month in 512KBPS speed and PhP1,295 in 1MBPS.
Currently, the WiMAX is already available in select areas in Metro Manila; Cavite, Batangas, Laguna and Quezon in southern Luzon; Cebu, Bacolod, Dumaguete and Silay City in the Visayas; and Cagayan de Oro City in Mindanao. And this will be available by the end of the year in areas like Rizal, Benguet, Nueva Ecija, and Bataan in Luzon; and Bohol, Iloilo, Leyte, Guimaras, Capiz, and Negros in the Visayas.
But the question is: Is it really reliable compared to the existing Globe Broadband connection here in Leyte? Well, we can’t tell yet as long as we haven’t tested this new technology.
