Globe Telecom today announced that it has successfully completed the first-ever 5G video call in the country with AIS Thailand through its 5G network.
The conversation lasted more than three minutes and was made recently after Globe received the technical call from AIS when the mobile operator tested its own 5G network in Bangkok last Friday, February 21. The call went on without a glitch with zero lag and practically ushered in a new era of mobile experience for both Globe and AIS. AIS has officially acquired its new 5G spectrum the same day it made the call to Globe.
Globe launched its 5G Fixed Wireless access in June last year to make the Philippines the third country in Asia to have 5G technology. Japan and South Korea were the first two countries in the continent to introduce 5G to consumers.
Globe recently launched the Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G, the first 5G capable smartphone in the Philippines. The company is targeting to turn areas within major central business districts (CBDs) to 5G mobile capable sites within the year.
