Better and greener connectivity access for remote areas
Created by industry leader HUAWEI, Globe said RuralLink allows the telco firm to penetrate remote locations where the sector encounters difficulties in building traditional cell sites.
According to HUAWEI and Globe, the technology cuts network construction costs as it is designed to combine multiple antennas into a single unit.
The innovation also consumes 65 percent less power and can potentially reduce 4,800 kCO2e (kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions equivalent) of greenhouse gas emissions for each site per year.
Providing connectivity to all Filipinos demands solutions that are both cost-efficient and eco-friendly. RuralLink enables us to reduce our carbon footprint and power consumption while ensuring that no community is left behind in the digital age, Globe head of Service Planning and Engineering Joel Agustin said.
The company said Globe would initially cover 20 locations. The expansion of RuralLink to other areas is also considered.
