Globe to roll out new system to cut downtime

Globe said Friday it will roll out a new technology to reduce the downtime of cell sites and ensure business continuity during typhoons and other natural disasters.

Globe said it collaborated with Amazon Web Services to develop G-Climate—a cloud native service which uses predictive analytics on various data points such as weather information, weather patterns, and cell site outage data to identify potential outages specifically during the typhoon season.

G-Climate was developed to address the impact of severe weather disturbances, which roughly causes 10 to 20 percent of outages at Globe’s cell sites.

“Since communications are vital during disasters, Globe is doing its best to minimize the impact of climate-related risks, particularly the downtime of cell sites in typhoon-prone areas. G-Climate is one of the ways to mitigate the effects of severe weather conditions beyond our control,” said Globe Group chief sustainability and corporate communications officer Yoly Crisanto.

“It is great to see Globe create and use G-Climate App built using AWS Machine Learning services including Amazon SageMaker to drive faster operational decisions in critical situations and natural disasters like typhoons, floods, and earthquakes,” said Stephen Thomas Misa, country head of AWS Philippines.
