Converge ICT Solutions, Inc. said that it will work closely with the provincial government of Cavite to assure the early completion of the installati­on of fiber-optic cables in the province.

The company signed recently a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Cavite to help provide the province with the benefits of pure-fiber Internet connectivi­ty. Under the MOA, allows Converge ICT will lay more than 300 kilometers of fiber-optic cables in the province’s 7 cities and 16 municipali­ties. Once completed, the people of Cavite will enjoy Internet connectivi­ty that’s reliable, dependable, fast, and with absolutely no “data cap!”

Cavite Governor Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla lauded the partnershi­p with Converge ICT. “We hope to start a digital revolution in our province with this project. We all know that we have one of the slowest, if not the slowest, Internet connection­s in the world. But that will end real soon here in Cavite, and hopefully the Philippine­s, too, with this partnershi­p with Converge ICT,” declares Governor Remulla.

“After Metro Manila and other key cities, it is Cavite’s turn to maximize the power of fiber-optic Internet. We certainly look forward to digitaliza­tion of the province of Cavite and many others one step at a time. We know it will take quite a while, but we will get there,” declares Dennis Anthony Uy, Chief Executive Officer of Converge ICT Solutions, Inc. After Cavite, Uy said they are already looking at other provinces in the southern Tagalog region. Ultimately, Converge ICT will reach other areas in the Philippine­s such as Visayas and Mindanao to let more people enjoy the power and speed of pure fiber-optic Internet connectivi­ty.

The installati­on has already started as we speak in Cavite’s key cities such as Trece Martires, Bacoor and Imus with a minimum speed of 25mbps.

“We’re optimistic about finishing the project early. We have the benefit of modern-age equipment in laying fiberoptic cables on the ground using ‘microtrenc­hing’ technology. We’ve proven its capability in the National Capital Region and other areas so I know we can finish the project on time and provide Cavite with faster-than –ever Internet connectivi­ty,” he adds.

“There’s nothing that can beat fiber optic Internet at this time. It’s easy to install and most of all, it’s now made affordable by Converge ICT,” Uy said.

Converge ICT’s ground-breaking FiberX Internet plan is offered in three different plan types for a variety of users depending on their Internet usage. FiberX 1500 has a burstable speed of up to 25Mbps, FiberX 2500 up to 50Mbps and FiberX 3500 reaches up to 100Mbps. Compared to the traditiona­l Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), FiberX will make people “experience better” Internet with better speed, larger bandwidth and consistent performanc­e for either work or play.
