Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. is boosting connectivity at several venues for the high-level Asia-Pacific Economic Council meetings, including the Economic Leaders’ Meeting that will be held in Metro Manila next week.
PLDT has installed facilities to provide up to 8.5 gigabits per second of Internet connectivity and voice solutions needed in major conference venues and host hotels for the 8,000 delegates expected to attend the Apec meetings.
The Philippine International Convention Center complex, where the important meetings will be hosted, has been provisioned with 3 Gbps of fiber connectivity and 100 units of carrier-grade access points to provide seamless delivery of Wi-Fi connectivity for all guests.
The World Trade Center, which serves as the press center for local and international media, has also been connected with an I-Gate service that will serve the connection requirements of the different organizations covering the different conferences.
“We are one with the government in ensuring the success of these important dialogues, and in demonstrating the country’s readiness to host a major conference like the Apec. We have ensured that our facilities in the Apec venues will support the connectivity requirements of the conference delegates,” said PLDT president and chief executive Napoleon Nazareno.
