Globe is advancing its network capacity and sustainability by rolling out 32T32R Massive MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) technology across 200 dense urban areas, with plans to complete the project by year-end.
This advanced technology, developed with vendor-partners including Nokia, will improve LTE and 5G services while using less energy.
The 32T32R Massive MIMO system balances performance and sustainability with fewer antennas and reduced power consumption. It offers sufficient capacity for most of Globe’s needs and is an ideal solution for expanding LTE and 5G networks in urban areas.
The system’s beamforming and multi-user MIMO capabilities allow it to direct signals to multiple users simultaneously, increasing network capacity and quality while maintaining energy efficiency. Each 32T32R site is estimated to save about 200kWh of energy per month, cutting carbon emissions by 1.7 metric tons annually.
Moreover, the technology’s smaller form factor and lighter weight—21 kg lighter and 24 liters smaller than previous models—translate to easier and faster installation.
