“Businesses need to evolve and move with changing environments in order to thrive and flourish,” said Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala, chairman of Globe Telecom, at the launching of the TGN-Intra Asia cable system this week.

“It is imperative to remain relevant with consumer trends, constantly improve performance and efficiency, and move in step with the latest technologies. For these reasons, the search for new solutions to bring businesses to the next level should be at the core of every telecom company’s agenda,” he said.

With the Tata Global Network-Intra Asia cable system (TGN-IA), Globe aims to give its customers faster connectivity, reliable and uninterrupted connections and real-time access to information.

Globe opens more international capacity and better connectivity to businesses in the Philippines with its link to the TGN-IA, which is owned and operated by Tata Communications.

The Philippines-Japan segment of the TGN-Intra Asia cable system, the fourth cable landing station in the country, was completed last December.

With this development, Globe Business is ready to provide large corporations with an alternative access around Asia and a more direct route to the US offering better connections.

The TGN-IA cable system, when combined with Tata Global Networks TIC and Pacific Cable Systems, will complete Tata Communications’ multi-terabit capability from India to Asia and onwards to the United States.

“The TGN-IA is a 6,700-kilometer, multi-terabit cable system connecting Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan, as well as Vietnam and the Philippines,” said Gerardo Ablaza, Globe president and CEO.

“It has onward connectivity to the United States via the associated TGN-Pacific cable system. Globe’s initial capacity of five wavelengths (50 Gbps) on TGN-IA would almost double the aggregate capacity of all the major cable systems going into the Philippines today,” he said. - Philippine Star
