Since the start of the summer months, when the extreme heat has exacerbated power
supply challenges, Globe has upheld an impressive record of zero downtime. This
accomplishment underscores the effectiveness of its robust redundancy measures and
its commitment to providing reliable connectivity, even in the face of adversity.

Globe has long put in place multiple layers of power supply redundancies to ensure
undisrupted connectivity for its customers as much as possible. Its core network facilities
are equipped with power sources that ensure optimum uptime. These include multiple
sets of batteries and generator sets, with fuel reserves enough for three full days of
operations.

Generators in Globe’s network facilities are always stocked with sufficient fuel reserves,
with fuel levels monitored daily, ready for any eventuality. Similarly, batteries undergo daily
maintenance to ensure they are in prime condition. Core network facilities are housed
in temperature-controlled rooms, optimizing energy efficiency and minimizing waste. By
regulating temperatures effectively, Globe reduces unnecessary power consumption
while maintaining optimal operations of its critical infrastructure.

Globe’s efforts to provide uninterrupted connectivity go hand-in-hand with its commitment
to sustainability and energy efficiency. Its goal is to attain net zero emissions by 2050,
aligning with worldwide endeavors to mitigate climate change.
