4G arrives in the Philippines through ‘wi-tribe’

And finally 4G (fourth generation) technology is here in the Philippines!

wi-tribe is backed by San Miguel Corporation (SMC) and Qtel Group. These two powerhouse investors are dedicated to enhancing both the Filipino user’s online experience and the broadband infrastructure in the Philippines.

As of my conversation with a telephone operator from Liberty (31-TRIBE or 02-3187423), wi-tribe offers fast 4G broadband that speeds up to 1Mbps. wi-tribe offers only data services, no calls nor text messaging. This makes their connection fast and reliable compared to Globe Tattoo, Smart Bro and Sun Broadband that uses 3G and 3.5G technology. As of the press time, wi-tribe is available only in selected areas in Metro Manila.

wi-tribe uses 4G because it is the future of broadband technology the entire world is moving towards.

4G (Fourth Generation) is the class of technologies that delivers hi-speed broadband and multimedia services and applications.

In contrast, 3G is voice technology that is being used for some internet applications like small screen applications and casual surfing.

Facts about 4G in a broadband application:

* 4G is broadband that delivers true wired speeds without wires.
* 4G is faster because it has more bandwidth.
* 4G is completely portable so you can enjoy it in your office, so you can bring it to your favorite coffee-shop,  or your hang out.
* 4G is 3 times faster than 3G technology.
* 4G is the preferred broadband technology that will give you the richer,  pleasurable internet experience you truly deserve.
