MANILA, Philippines – Huawei Technologies Philippines Inc. has a positive growth outlook for its business in the country as telcos are investing to improve their network to cater to growing demand for data services. “I think we have a lot of opportunities in this market,” Huawei Technologies Philippines CEO Jacky Gao said in an interview. Huawei provides support to PLDT Inc.’s Smart Communications Inc. and to Globe Telecom Inc. in their network improvements. At present, only five percent of total smartphone subscribers in the country are using LTE. Gao said the percentage is seen to grow in the coming years as 4G smartphones become more affordable and accessible.
