Globe’s core network is also built for resilience in the face of extreme scenarios such as disasters, ensuring service availability even in the event of multiple failures.
Globe is now exploring new ways to improve network stability by anticipating and preventing potential issues before they happen. This includes predicting problems in real-time and automatically identifying the causes to reduce service disruptions. The first step is introducing digital twin technology, which gives real-time insights into the network’s condition. This will allow for proactive monitoring, early problem detection, and faster resolution of any faults.
By using innovative technology and building a strong, resilient network, Globe aims to ensure best-in-class customer experience. Globe will continue to work closely with industry partners and global leaders to set and implement reliability standards for the telecommunications industry.
