Globe has introduced what it dubbed the country’s first fully working Private 5G Network, aimed at solving challenges faced by businesses in various industries. Located at a Globe site in Makati City, this dedicated network provides a secure and dependable way to use advanced digital tools.
Compared to public networks which are shared among many users, Globe’s Private 5G Network gives businesses exclusive access to bandwidth. This means companies can have more control, improved security, and the ability to customize the network to meet their specific needs.
“This milestone demonstrates our drive to provide cutting-edge connectivity solutions that cater to the varying needs of our clients,” said Gerhard Tan, senior director and head of technology strategy and innovations at Globe. “As businesses and organizations continue to adapt to the rapidly changing technological landscape, Globe’s private 5G network solution will be a key enabler in overcoming connectivity challenges, enabling new applications for different use cases, and driving the next wave of digital transformation.”
The service is expected to be available soon to Globe’s Business-to-Business (B2B) customers, including companies in industries like ports, mining, and manufacturing. The network can support safer operations, better workforce management, and easier tracking of assets.
During its pilot test with Nokia Shanghai Bell, the network used a Video Surveillance and Analytics Solution. This system can count people, recognize faces, detect gender, and track vehicle plates — tools that help businesses run efficiently and securely.
To stay ahead, Globe is working with global tech providers and systems integrators to keep its Private 5G Network innovative and useful.
“This initiative underscores our commitment to empowering businesses with solutions that foster growth and resilience in today’s connected world,” said Tan.
