Globe is taking the next step in its 5G journey as it opens up the network to a wide variety of possible use cases for customers using 5G Standalone (SA) technology.
The 5th and latest generation mobile network is known for high-speed applications such as 4k and 8k video streaming, augmented and virtual reality, and ultra-fast internet served to deliver immersive content consumption.
However, 5G SA goes beyond speed. With its network slicing capabilities, low latency, always-on connectivity, and integration with edge computing, the technology allows the adoption of new concepts and mission critical digital services such as industrial automation, remote surgery, and autonomous vehicles to name a few. These enablers also allow massive machine-to-machine communications (mMTC) that cater to a high number of devices transmitting relevant data simultaneously.

“Globe is creating new possibilities with 5G SA. We are all set to leverage these enablers to make our 5G value proposition more compelling and competitive. 5G SA will allow us to do more services for multiple industries with new business models,” said Ernest Cu, Globe President and CEO.
Globe has been taking the lead in deploying new technologies, 5G SA on-site testing started in May this year. Today, Globe achieved a new milestone by testing this latest (5G SA) technology in a live setup in its facility in Valero. The technology is expected to become the connectivity standard for advanced use cases across many industry verticals and will be a key enabler for a #DigitalPH. Globe will soon be bringing this technology to its customers as it embarks upon extending this from the location in Valero to other parts of Metro Manila and beyond.
