Globe Telecom, the largest mobile network in the Philippines, recently showcased the country’s first standalone private 5G (5G SA) network at its INNOVANIA technology and innovation event. The network utilized a core network from Athonet, which was acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) in February. It was positioned as an Industry 4.0 solution for mission-critical enterprise environments.

The Athonet solution is described as an easy-to-use all-in-one bundle that includes a top-rated mobile core network, SIMs, radios, and supports both cloud and edge deployment models. It can be deployed on new HPE servers or on existing compute resources. The network boasts maximum speeds of 780 Mbps and 150 Mbps for downlink and uplink, respectively.

Globe Telecom views the private 5G SA network as a complement to Wi-Fi and public 5G. It offers various advantages such as enhanced security, customization, ultra-low latency, high capacity, and the ability to handle massive IoT deployments. It is especially beneficial for mission-critical applications.

However, this showcase is a regional demo project aimed at guiding local enterprises towards connectivity. Globe Telecom believes that the future of Philippine businesses will be defined by increased productivity, cost efficiency, and quality through private 5G networks. They consider it to be another innovation for their enterprise customers to experience.

While Globe Telecom takes this step towards private 5G, the global economy is also moving forward with private 5G networks. The company envisions a future where businesses in the Philippines can capitalize on the opportunities offered by this technology.
