Globe Telecom has launched the country’s first private 5G standalone (SA) network.
The private 5G SA network, powered by Athonet's 5G Core technology, provides corporations and organizations with an innovative alternative or supplement to WiFi and public mobile technologies. The network should improve cellular connectivity, unlocking the potential for higher productivity, efficiency, and quality across multiple industries.
Athonet's 5G SA starter kit is an all-inclusive solution, which includes SIM cards, a radio, and a top-tier mobile core network, all housed in a compact briefcase. Through its N6 interface, the starter kit offers seamless connection with business applications while providing high-quality video and audio experiences at download speeds of up to 780Mbps and upload speeds of up to 150Mbps. This plug-and-play device can be easily installed and powered by a normal outlet.
What distinguishes the private 5G SA network is its potential to provide new benefits such as enhanced security, customization capabilities, ultra-low latency and significant capacity. This makes it perfect for supporting large-scale internet of things (IoT) deployments as well as mission-critical applications that require dependable and efficient communication.
"The breakthrough private 5G standalone network brings us closer to a digitally transformed enterprise landscape," noted Yoke Kong Seow, chief technical advisor at Globe.
