Waze, one of the Philippines’ most popular navigation apps, is now letting Filipinos know the areas where Smart 5G is present. The supported locations appear with Wave Pins on the map, making it easier for consumers with 5G-ready devices to connect for faster internet speeds.
As of writing, this feature is only available for Waze seres in Metro Manila and key areas in the provinces of Aklan, Bulacan, Cavite, Cebu, Davao del Sur, Iloilo, Laguna, and Pampanga, with more locations to be added soon.
The next evolution of wireless communications, 5G offers significantly faster speeds and ultra-low latency, making it possible to stream ultra-HD videos without buffering, download and upload heavy files in seconds, and play high-bandwidth games without lag. It also provides a new platform that will unlock possibilities for groundbreaking digital experiences and services.
As part of its ongoing nationwide rollout, Smart has fired up more than 1,400 5G sites across the country – the most extensive coverage in the Philippines. Smart is also planning to grow its 5G base stations by over 3,800 this year.
Smart 5G recently went live in Benguet, Misamis Oriental, and Zamboanga Sibugay.
