PLDT Upgrades Fibre-optic Network (DFON) Capacity
« on: August 21, 2012, 08:43:51 AM »
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) announced yesterday that it is looking to upgrade its domestic fibre-optic network (DFON) as it looks to boost the fortunes of the country’s Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and Offshoring and Outsourcing (O&O) industries. PLDT president and CEO Napoleon L Nazareno says the telco is looking to build on its position of owning the ‘largest network capacity of any provider in the country’, noting that the upgrade to 100G technology will put the Philippines on a par with Japan, South Korea, Australia and Singapore. ‘Our upgrade to advanced optical technologies will add significant bandwidth scalability and intelligence to PLDT’s current network infrastructure allowing us to offer 40G and 100G-based services to meet forecast demand in high speed connectivity,’ Nazareno said. Meanwhile, PLDT vice president Eric R Alberto added: ‘PLDT’s accelerated core network modernisation expansion in the ‘Next Wave’ cities such as Iloilo, Batangas, and Baguio City, will allow them to compete in the global market.’

As reported by TeleGeography’s CommsUpdate, last month PLDT signed a PHP1.3 billion (USD30.9 million) contract with Ciena Corporation to upgrade the carrier’s fibre-optic infrastructure with 100 gigabit technology – a first for the Philippines. At the time, Napoleon Nazareno said the upgrade would allow the firm to offer next generation services such as fibre-to-the-home (FTTH), amongst other advanced services. PLDT expects to complete the upgrade in November 2012. - Source:http://www.telegeography.com/products/commsupdate/articles/2012/08/10/pldt-to-improve-dfon-to-benefit-bpo-sector/

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
