Nokia today said it will enable Globe Telecom’s move to Cloud and IoT-ready networks using 4.5G Pro, Carrier SDN, IP and Optical technologies.
Globe Telecom will make investment for deploying 5G-ready Nokia AirScale radio access with 4.5G Pro, IP, Optical and carrier SDN technologies to transform Globe Telecom’s fixed and mobile networks.
Globe Telecom aims to meet consumer and IoT demands and expand services to new enterprise customers as it prepares for 5G.
Deal further consolidates Nokia’s position as Globe Telecom’s premier provider of end-to-end technology solutions
Nokia and Globe Telecom signed two Memoranda of Confirmation frame agreements – one for wireless technologies and the other for IP, Optical and SDN technologies – to transform Globe Telecom’s current fixed and mobile networks into a more robust network.
Globe Telecom will transition to a flexible cloud-based network infrastructure, with Nokia’s 5G-ready AirScale radio access and IP, optical and carrier SDN technology solutions providing seamless connectivity to consumers and enterprise customers as the operator prepares for IoT and 5G.
Nokia will deploy its 4.5G Pro technology using the 5G-ready AirScale Base Station and Flexi Zone small cells, managed by NetAct, in the Visayas and Mindanao regions, providing broadband access to some areas in these regions for the first time.
Globe will be enabled to use Mobile Edge Computing and advanced carrier aggregation techniques to deliver scalability and improvements in speeds and capacity. The technology will enable lower power consumption, reduced operating costs, more network automation and enhanced network performance.
As part of the second agreement, Nokia will deliver its integrated IP and optical networking and carrier SDN technologies across the Philippines to enhance the agility, quality, performance, coverage and capacity of Globe Telecom’s enterprise data services network.
This will allow Globe to deliver coverage to more regions including in the ARMM, such as Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi.
Using Nokia’s carrier SDN platform, Globe will also be able to provide flexible data services such as bandwidth-on-demand nationwide, and expand its offer to thousands of enterprise customers, global service providers and local government agencies as well as those serving the Information Technology-Business Process Outsourcing (IT-BPO), hospitality, education, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, logistics and finance industries.
