Globe Telecom – the Philippines’ largest mobile network provider, and owner of one of their largest fixed-line and broadband networks.
Massive devastation caused by a life-threatening super-typhoon bringing torrential rains, flooding, landslides, and 160mph winds included severe physical damage to Globe’s charging site in Vizmin, resulting in 23M people being suddenly cut off from communications. Repairing the site would take months to complete. However, Globe and Amdocs managed to successfully restore essential mobile and data services in under 8 hours, giving back critical connectivity at a time when it was needed the most.
