The OCRA Proof of Concept (PoC) conducted by HUMAX Networks and Smart Communications, Inc.(PLDT and Smart) marked an important step forward in advancing network innovation in the Philippines. It was not just a technical validation, but a meaningful collaboration that redefines how antenna operations can evolve in real-world environments.
 
The PoC was deployed at a hospital and a nearby high-rise condominium in San Juan, where notable improvements in signal strength, quality, and speed were recorded even in underserved and high-demand areas. OCRA also enabled dynamic remote switching of coverage based on real-time traffic patterns, demonstrating how networks can operate more efficiently while delivering stronger and faster connections exactly when customers need them.
 
HUMAX Networks’ OCRA is an optical-compass–based robotic arm solution that enables precise, real-time remote control of antenna azimuth, tilt, and rotation. By reducing site visits and avoiding unnecessary base station installations, OCRA delivers clear OPEX and CAPEX savings while strengthening network resilience in areas such as disaster recovery, accessibility, and safety. Through flexible, data-driven coverage optimization, OCRA has once again demonstrated its business value in this PoC.
 
HUMAX Networks remains committed to strengthening its collaboration with PLDT and Smart, and partners like Telkha as we continue building smarter, more adaptive, and future-ready network ecosystems together.
