Globe recently held a successful pilot test of its 50GPON (50 Gigabit Passive Optical Network) technology, delivering faster, more reliable connectivity that supports seamless streaming, faster downloads, and uninterrupted online experiences.
The pilot, held at the Globe Valero Telepark in Makati City, demonstrated how the next-gen 50GPON technology enables data transmission at speeds of up to 50 Gbps, setting a new benchmark in broadband connectivity and laying the foundation for Globe’s vision to deliver multi-gigabit speeds.
By surpassing the capabilities of the current 10GPON technology, 50GPON promises improved efficiency, lower latency, and the capacity to address the diverse needs of both residential and business customers.
The pilot included comprehensive testing, such as throughput, end-to-end latency, and jitter, along with demonstrations of practical high-bandwidth yet practical applications such as 8K streaming, cloud gaming, augmented and virtual reality, fiber-to-the-room, and high-definition video conferencing.
“Globe is committed to providing Filipinos with the best possible internet experience, and this breakthrough in 50GPON technology is a key component of our future-forward approach to broadband connectivity,” said James Lim, VP for Broadband Service Planning and Engineering at Globe Telecom. “With this milestone, we’re taking a giant step towards ensuring our network is ready to support the evolving needs of our customers, both now and in the years to come.”
50GPON technology may be used extensively, transforming digital experiences for users while driving innovation in areas like real-time cloud gaming, 8K video streaming, and enhanced smart home solutions. The technology also unlocks opportunities for smart cities, telemedicine, advanced manufacturing, e-learning, and secure enterprise connectivity.
Globe is in the process of identifying possible areas and early adopters of the technology solution in preparation for future deployment.
With this latest achievement, Globe continues to set the standard for innovation in telecom, bridging the digital divide and paving the way for a more connected and digitally empowered Philippines.
