Globe Telecom Inc. yesterday said it has completed the deployment of a new series of antennas which seeks to boost its fourth generation (4G) and fifth generation (5G) networks and ensure energy efficiency.
The antenna adopts enhanced multi-array modules, ultra-high integration architecture and full-band technology. Its ultra-resolution beam technology provides high-precision beamforming for higher multiple-input multiple-output performance and a 15 percent increase in network capacity.
Globe said the powerful configuration also allows simplified deployment in one antenna, with greater efficiency at 30 percent, a first in the industry. Since the antenna is smaller than the traditional design, it makes installation easier and faster even on cell sites with limited space.
The technology also minimizes feed loss and improves energy efficiency by 10 percent to 15 percent. This means that Globe can maximize energy efficiencies and lower electricity utilization through antenna development and power consumption innovation.
“4G/5G deployment is accelerating and usage is continuously growing. The antenna is important for a network to have greater capacity, accelerate site deployment, have broader and deeper coverage, and achieve a low carbon footprint,” said Joel Agustin, head of network planning and engineering at Globe’s Network Technical Group. – Myla Iglesias
