Smart to deploy more sites on new frequencies

TO expand the coverage and capacity of its network, particularly mobile data, Pangilinan-led Smart Communications ramped up network deployment using new frequencies formerly assigned to San Miguel Corp. (SMC).

Joachim Horn, PLDT and Smart chief technology and information advisor, said they are gearing up for the full utilization of the 700, 900, 1800, 2300, and 2600 MHz spectrums to accelerate its LTE (Long-Term Evolution) deployment.
