CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – Some 13 million households in Luzon will have end-to-end fiber connection in the next five years.
This, according to Dennis Anthony H. Uy, founder and chief executive officer of
Converge ICT Solutions, the country’s premier pour end-to-end fiber internet service provider.
Uy noted that the upswing in essential transactions and activities being done online has led to a surge of inquiries and service requests, hence the need to ramp up his company’s capabilities to meet the demand for fast and reliable internet service.
“Stable internet connectivity has become vital for families working and studying at home. Likewise, an uninterrupted connection is key for enterprises who are striving to complete their own digital transformations,” he said.
While the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine implemented in March hampered the Converge ICT’s service delivery, considerable operations adjustments enabled Converge to bounce back and mobilize quickly as restrictions loosened.
Uy said there are currently 25 million households in the Luzon Island and his company is targeting to fully serve at least half of 2025.
Converge ICT began expanding its network beyond Luzon to the rest of the Philippines in 2019. The company believes that it is well-positioned to substantially complete its primary nationwide backbone loop, which will connect Luzon, Visayas,and Mindanao by the end of 2021.
“To meet consumer needs effectively, we are continuously working on improving our response times, investing in our people and addressing last-mile connectivity challenges,” Uy said.
New fleet
On Thursday, the Angeles-based businessman personally attended the turn-over of a new fleet of service vehicles — 400 Suzuki vans and 45 Mitsubishi L300 FB vans – procured by Converge ICT from the Laus Auto Group.
The vehicles will be distributed out all over Luzon Island to support Converge ICT’s expanding operations.
Asked why he chose Laus Auto Group for his company’s vehicles, Uy said: “O siyempre, Kapampangan ku. Siyempre, Kong Levy (Laus, now demised Laus Group of Companies founder) was my friend and at the same time ninu pang saupan tamu nung aliwa ing kabalen mismu.”
“This is our contribution to local businessmen especially during this pandemic. We have to help Kapampangan businessmen,” he said.
Adding: “Yung service nila maganda at the same time ever since dito ako bumibili.” With Converge ICT/PR
