DITO Telecom moves technical launch on July 18

DITO Telecom 5G tower in Tagum City  

Dito is expected to begin its commercial operations by March 2021 with a plan to make its first call by May 2020, set up 1,600 cell towers that will cover 37% coverage in the country and start of its technical operations by July 18, 2020, and its pre-commercial trial by September 2020. Dito will offer 4G LTE first before moving to 5G technology in 2021.

The technical launch means the start of internal monitoring of its commitment to provide services to 37 percent of the country’s population with a minimum average speed of 27 megabits per second during its first year of operations.

By the end of its fifth year, DITO promised to cover 84 percent of the Philippines and offer a minimum average speed of at least 55 mbps.

The technical launch differs from the rollout of commercial services to subscribers, which could come as late as March 2021. By: Albert Reyes
