24 October, 2016
Beijing, China - Nokia and Globe Telecom, a leading telecom operator in the
Philippines, have signed two Memoranda of Confirmation frame agreements - one
for wireless technologies and the other for IP, Optical and SDN technologies -
under which Nokia will transform Globe Telecom's current fixed and mobile
networks into a more robust network that will help Globe meet the country's
burgeoning and future digital demands.
Under the agreements, 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.The
modernized Globe network will also allow it to support the Philippine
government's initiative to further expand the availability of broadband services
in the country.
The mobile network frame agreement between Nokia and Globe Telecom follows the
operator's recent access to new LTE spectrum. 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 also be
enabled to use Mobile Edge Computing and advanced carrier aggregation techniques
to deliver virtually unlimited scalability and dramatic improvements in speeds
and capacity that will deliver compelling new services. The technology will also
enable lower power consumption, reduced operating costs, more network automation
and enhanced network performance as it transforms Globe Telecom's customer
experience for a subscriber base growing at 10 percent annually, as well as
meeting increasing demand from IoT devices.
In the second frame 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.
The agreements were signed during the State Visit of the Philippine President to
China by Globe Telecom's Director Fernando Zobel de Ayala and President and
Chief Executive Officer Ernest L. Cu , and for Nokia by Chen Yuhua, Executive
Vice President of the joint management team in China. Philippine President
