Tamuning, Guam (February 09, 2023) – DOCOMO PACIFIC, the regional leader in innovation, telecommunications, & entertainment, completes multi-million dollar mobile network investment, enhancing the overall customer experience.

DOCOMO PACIFIC customers throughout the islands can experience faster mobile speeds, improved reliability, and greater coverage thanks to numerous network upgrades recently completed. This project fortifies 4G LTE connectivity which carries the majority of the mobile traffic on Guam and the CNMI.

"While we are focused on technology leadership and expanding our high speed 5G network, we continue to enhance our extensive 4G LTE network.

These upgrades significantly improve the connection speeds, allowing us to maintain an excellent mobile experience while providing for the growing demands from data-heavy applications. The DOCOMO PACIFIC network uses multiple technologies aimed at providing you with a reliable network.
