Philippines – Subic Telecommunications Co. Inc. is involved in voice, video and data transmissions. It offers a wide range of services from basic telephone service to frame relay services.
SubicTel is a subsidiary of the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT). Its main office is in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Olongapo city, Philippines.
SubicTel's history began in 1992 when the United States left its naval base in Subic bay. Salvaging the remaining telecommunications equipment in the abandoned naval base, the people of Olongapo put up a fledgling telecommunications company for the area.
In 1996, SubicTel became a joint venture among the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA), PLDT and AT&T. The company was instrumental in the Philippines' successful hosting of the APEC summit in 1996. SubicTel became a 100-percent PLDT-owned subsidiary in 2000.
In 1998, SubicTel acquired a 5ESS Digital Switch from Lucent. The switch has since served as a local toll and international gateway switch with C7 TUP and ISUP signaling protocols. The company also deployed remote switches using fiber optic technology that includes synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) transmission system.
In 2002, SubicTel rolled out its Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ASDL) network in Subic and nearby areas.
The company also uses microwave technology for voice and data transmissions.
SubicTel provides voice, data and other telecommunications services such as basic telephone service, domestic and international long distance services, operator and telemarketing services.
The company also provides ISDN, domestic and international data services, DSL, ASDL, international and private leased lines, local and domestic leased lines, frame relay services and Internet.
The company also offers building wiring consultancy, and equipment maintenance (PBX, telephone systems).
SubicTel has been the telecommunications lifeline of the Subic Bay Freeport area since the company's founding. At present, it provides services to approximately 18,000 subscribers. Its major clients include establishments in the Freeport area such as FedEx, Wistron and Ocean Adventure.
The Global Sources team was welcomed by SubicTel's Noel Bernal during the team's visit to the company's headquarters. There, the team was informed of the history of SubicTel â the Subic Bay Freeport area's transmission and telecommunications backbone.
Telecom Sources' assistant editor Monina Villena was impressed by the company's equipment. Seeing the products that she has been writing about has given her a renewed interest in telecommunication systems. "My perceptions on some of the equipment changed when I saw them, firsthand. I wish there was more time to learn," she relates.
