Globe Telecom has rolled out a household broadband service powered by solar energy and backed up by artificial intelligence (AI)-driven battery, a green solution touted to be the first of its kind in Asia Pacific.
The Ayala-led firm, powered by fiber-to-the-room (FTTR) technology, has partnered with solar energy solution provider FusionSolar to integrate AI and solar-powered connectivity. This is to prove that innovation, sustainability and purposeful connectivity could co-exist together.
FusionSolar technology enables homes to harvest natural energy, a solution that guarantees internet connectivity even during power outages. This also helps cut down the cost of electricity consumption.
The supply of power is guaranteed through AI-managed backup batteries that instantly activate when the main power grid fails.
At present, FusionSolar has served more than 3.9 million households across 170 countries.
In Thailand, for instance, 80,000 households have adopted its solar solution. This provided up to 70 percent of their electricity supply.
“At Globe, we believe innovation is most powerful when it’s purposeful,” said Abigail Cardino, Globe vice president and head of brand management for the broadband business.
“Through strategic partnerships and cutting-edge technology, we’re making efficient and sustainable living a reality for more Filipino families,” Cardina said. “This is how we foster meaningful connections, by building homes that are AI-powered, yet deeply human.”
Globe At Home’s GFiber postpaid plans promise connectivity speeds of up to 2.5 gigabytes per second.
