Globe Telecom will be upgrading its frequency and phase delivery technology throughout its national transport network. The second largest operator in Philippines has signed a three-year agreement with Oscilloquartz, an ADVA Optical Networking company to deploy hundreds of Oscilloquartz devices to deliver highly accurate synchronization across Globe Telecom's enormous island-to-island infrastructure.
The technology, including cesium clocks, PTP grandmasters and Oscilloquartz's network management system, will be a critical component of Globe Telecom's national core network as it responds to demand for LTE services and other applications that require highly accurate frequency and phase information, said the company. The extra capacity and throughput will be essential for instant video streaming, multi-media applications and to enable the internet of things to grow.
To make this possible the new synchronization network is one of the first to utilize the OSA 5335 modular PTP grandmaster. This device is designed to accommodate more than 6,000 remote slaves, giving it the market's highest capacity.
According to Oscilloquartz, the solution is also built with the compact and precise OSA 323OB cesium clock as well as the SyncView Plus management system, which gives Globe Telecom complete oversight and remote control of every synchronization element.

As one of the leading service providers in the Philippines, Globe Telecom was determined to go further, to do more than improve its current infrastructure. That's why the work so far is just the start of a long-term mission to evolve their network.
