    A 5G demo was conducted at Nokia Manila Technology Center in Quezon City to showcase the achievement of 5G speeds of 2.5 Gigabits per second (Gbps) using 100 megahertz (MHz) with latency of just 1 millisecond for the first time in the Philippines over a ‘live’ network.

    Manuel V. Pangilinan, chairman and CEO of PLDT and Smart, said “we are excited to work with Nokia in conducting cutting-edge research and development for 5G. This is a key part of our efforts to transform the PLDT and Smart network into the country’s most future-ready data infrastructure delivering a wide range of gigabit digital solutions.”

    5G opens up possibilities for IoT connectivity, enabling ultra-low latency and providing unprecedented user experience in the Philippines.
