INQ7.netMOBILE operator Globe Telecom has made its first third-generation (3G) video call over a 3G trial network, the company said.
Globe claims to be the first Philippine operator to have tested 3G in the Philippines after obtaining a trial permit and frequencies from the National Telecommunications Commission.
“Telecommunications is a very dynamic and fast-paced industry,” said Gerardo Ablaza Jr., Globe president and chief executive officer, after the 3G trial.
Globe was the first digital GSM network operator in the Philippines, when rival operators were still using analog networks about a decade ago.
It next jumped to 2.5G with General Packet Radio Service ahead of its rivals, according to Ablaza.
“Now, 3G is upon us, and we are ready. This video call is another milestone in the evolution of Globe, one of many steps Globe is taking to understand and build the next generation of telecommunications technologies and services,” the CEO said.
3G promises a richer multimedia experience with the mobile phone. With 3G, applications such as mobile TV and live video calls can be made.
Ablaza said Globe Telecom continues to push new technologies and innovations.
“We are committed to investing today in these trials to make sure we will be ready when the time comes,” he said.
Globe did not indicate when it would eventually launch a commercial 3G service.
