Globe Telecom Inc. is ramping up its initiatives to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 by pursuing green and low-carbon optical network as part of its modernization program.
Yoly Crisanto, Globe chief sustainability officer and senior vice president for group corporate communications, said the company is operationalizing its green network with the help of Huawei Technologies to save on space and power consumption.
Crisanto said Globe plans to achieve low-carbon optical access network including the deployment of blade optical line terminal for various outdoor wireless site types which provides a 50 percent reduction in power consumption and natural heat dissipation.
Globe will also utilize an intelligent optical network terminal and intelligent application performance management that detects device usage for energy management for up to 30 percent power savings.
Globe will also simplify deployment from traditional equipment rooms to outdoor cabinets for a 60 percent and 40 percent reduction in space and power requirements, respectively.
As part of its carbon reduction strategy, Globe already deployed over 7,400 green network solutions such as fuel cell systems, direct current-hybrid generators, free cooling systems, and lithium-ion batteries that use cleaner fuel and are energy-efficient, resulting in lower emissions.
The company have also shifted 14 of its high-energy utilization facilities to renewable energy as it continues to buy renewable energy bundled with verified carbon offsets.
