CEBU CITY (PNA) – Listed telecommunications giant Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT), recently named the country’s best managed company, has vowed to revolutionize the telecommunications industry in Cebu.
"It is our intention to spearhead the development of telecommunication facilities in Cebu to be at par with the best in the world," said Butch Jimenez, vice president for media and PLDT’s official spokesperson.
PLDT intends to leverage the strength of its huge network both in fixed line, wireless and satellite communications to give the city a boost in its efforts to develop trade, a statement said.
PLDT will launch Innolab in Cebu next week.
A hi-tech telecoms laboratory that will develop telecoms and data-based solutions for practically every need of Cebu’s corporate world, the lab will allow a real-time demonstration of the products and services that PLDT offers.
For Cebu’s information and communications industry, PLDT assures that for traffic in Cebu going to and from most of the key cities in the Philippines, it has the capacity to transport 600,000 simultaneous voice circuit equivalent to 50 gibabits per second (Gb/s).
This can be in combination with data traffic such as Internet and video transmissions as well.
Furthermore, the PLDT network has direct connections to most of the international cable systems landing at the Nasugbu Cable Landing station such as the APCN 1 and 2, SEA-ME-We, GPT etc.
With the self-healing ring character of the network, connections to Cebu or other key cities of the archipelago are always protected via two physical separate routes, it said.
The Cebu Chamber of Commerce has chosen PLDT to be its partner in powering the Cebu Business Month 2004.
