With this robust infrastructure, the country is set to enhance connectivity, drive innovation, and attract global investments. By working with Ciena, we’re investing in a scalable and low-latency architecture to help our partners simplify their approach and set up quickly in new markets,” said Michael De Castro, First VP - In-Country Project Investment, International Business of HGC, and President of DWIC.
HGC will also use Ciena’s Navigator Network Control Suite to support rapid planning, provisioning, turning-up, and troubleshooting of services, as well as the use of analytics and intelligent network control to optimize network performance.
“HGC is establishing an edge for itself by leveraging Ciena’s technologies and our strong reputation with global Tier 1 operators and cloud providers to form an attractive proposition to expand their presence in the Philippines.
