5G

With 5G available in its studios, TV5's production teams, news anchors and reporters can now start exploring how to use Smart 5G-certified devices for their live coverage and news gathering activities.

Vivo recently unveiled its latest flagship X50 series during a virtual launch, highlighting the 5G-ready X50 Pro alongside the vanilla X50 and the Neo TWS earphone offering.

Samsung’s latest devices include the flagship 5G-powered Galaxy Note29 and Note20 Ultra, the Galaxy Buds Live, and the Galaxy Watch3. It’s still a no-show, however, for the two Galaxy tablets and foldable smartphone.

Smart Communications said it grew its LTE base stations by 10% from last year and increased capacity by reallocating frequency from 2G.

5G will transform the healthcare sector even more profoundly than remote diagnostics and consultations. It will be the breeding ground for technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) in the healthcare environment.

With 5G fast becoming the next battleground of local telcos, Smart Communications and Globe Telecom are now busy pitching the new wireless technology to consumers and businesses alike.

During the first-ever virtual Galaxy Unpacked, Samsung announced seven new products that is soon to hit gadget store shelves – the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy Note20, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2, Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ 5G, Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 5G, Samsung Galaxy Watch3, and Samsung Galaxy Buds Live.

Smart Communications has announced that it will activate its commercial 5G service on Thursday, July 30, with the initial phase of deployment in key business districts of Metro Manila.

Globe Telecom said 5G wireless technology is safe for the public and more importantly, there is no evidence to support about the urban myth that there is connection between the Covid-19 pandemic and 5G.

The work-from-home trend saved PC market from complete collapse, according to research firm Gartner.
