The Philippines’ longest domestic submarine fiber cable project has landed on the shores of Siargao, ready to deliver faster and reliable connectivity on the island as it paces through recovery in the wake of Typhoon Odette and the prolonged pandemic.
reliable connectivity on the island as it paces through recovery in the wake of Typhoon Odette and the prolonged pandemic.
Siargao is one of the landing points of PDSCN, a $150-million project that aims to improve both mobile and broadband connectivity and fiberize previously unserved areas across the country’s three main island groups. With the PDSCN project, the move will not only allow small and medium-sized enterprises in the area to thrive but also enhance the experience of residents and local and foreign visitors.
“Connecting islands, small or big, across the Philippine archipelago, will bring positive outcomes in improving the lives of the residents of Siargao in particular,” said Delfin Lopez, Eastern Communications Head of Network Planning, Engineering, and Implementation Division. Meanwhile, Dapa town Vice Mayor Gerry Abejo thanked the project proponents for bringing better connectivity to the island.
Last August, the joint venture sent off the state-of-the-art ship Cable Infinity of Japanese vendor Kokusai Cable Ship Co. Ltd. to ferry the cables manufactured by fiber optic cable maker Nexans S.A. The cables are made of a 96-core fiber optic with single and double armor protection.
