PLDT subsidiary completes fiber optic project in Subic
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. has said subsidiary Subic Telecommunications Company Inc. (SubicTel), has completed fiber optic project as part of a P210 million investment, the company said Thursday.
The project is part of a nationwide expansion of the telephone company's nationwide Domestic Fiber Optic Network (DFON) to Subic. The project involves laying down 286 kilometers of fiber optic cables, the company said in a statement.
The fiber optic project intends to support operations in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, allowing the telephone company to enhance its broadband services.
PLDT said the first section of the new fiber optic connection was completed when the operations center of Korean shipbuilding firm Hanjin, which is investing $1.7 billion for its shipyard, was connected from Redondo Peninsula in Subic to SubicTel in the Freeport Zone in July.
The Hanjin fiber optic link spans about 25 kilometers, passing through Subic town and Olongapo City in Zambales province. Hanjin is now directly connected to its headquarters in Korea by way of PLDT's international link.
The network expansion project spans 286 kilometers of fiber optic cables that form several redundant fiber optic loops covering Angeles, Clark, Porac, San Fernando , Guagua, Lubao and Floridablanca in Pampanga, and Dinalupihan in Bataan, Subic Town in Zambales, and Subic Bay Freeport Zone in Olongapo.
PLDT said the fiber backhaul connectivity has multi-loops to provide the redundancy in case of fiber breaks. IP Radio facilities for additional redundancy have also been installed.
"We committed to complete the project by December, and we are happy to report that we are a little early. We will now be able to address the needs of existing and potential customers much more quickly," SubicTel General Manager Henry Abes said.
