Manila, Philippines (30 June 2023) – ePLDT, the ICT subsidiary of PLDT, the Philippines fully integrated telecommunications and digital services provider, supported by its B2B arm, PLDT Enterprise, partners with fiber internet provider Radius Telecoms, Inc. to strengthen its telco ecosystem in its upcoming VITRO Sta. Rosa data center when it goes live in early 2024.
ePLDT, the ICT subsidiary of the largest fully integrated telecommunications and digital services provider in the Philippines, the PLDT Group, together with the Group’s B2B arm, PLDT Enterprise, partners with fiber internet provider Radius Telecoms, Inc. to strengthen its telco ecosystem in its upcoming VITRO Sta. Rosa data center when it goes live in early 2024.
Through this partnership, Radius Telecoms, Inc. will establish a point of presence at VITRO Sta. Rosa, providing reliable connectivity solutions to enterprises and hyperscalers who will soon collocate in the upcoming facility. Similarly, Radius Telecoms is also working with ePLDT to expand the fiber connectivity of the VITRO Data Centers. It is set to build a diverse fiber facility linking VITRO Sta. Rosa to VITRO Makati 2 and other key data centers in Metro Manila, advancing ePLDT’s Data Center Interconnect service.
“The addition of Radius Telecoms, Inc. will undoubtedly enhance the hyperconnectivity, resilience, and scalability of VITRO Sta. Rosa, ensuring our clients can navigate the digital landscape with confidence and seize endless growth opportunities,” said Victor S. Genuino, ePLDT President and CEO.
Purposely built to be the Philippines’ first true hyperscale data center facility, VITRO Sta. Rosa is equipped with at least three diverse points of entries connected to eight telco-neutral meet-me-rooms. This design caters to the stringent network requirements of hyperscalers who are looking to set up Availability Zones and Points-of-Presence in the country.
“Radius and ePLDT’s visions are very aligned. Through this partnership, I believe we can create a big ripple in the industry. That’s why I’m excited to see the formalization of this partnership. But a lot of work needs to be done and you can count on Radius and the team to ensure that we will be successful in this endeavor,” said Quiel Delgado, Radius Telecoms, Inc. President & CEO
Genuino is confident the partnership with Radius Telecoms can produce a lot of good results, recognizing that Radius “is a really good company run by really great people.”
This was seconded by Mitch L. Locsin, PLDT and Smart First Vice President & Head of Enterprise and International Business Groups. “I want to thank Radius for helping us make VITRO Sta. Rosa carrier-neutral. But I believe that this is just the beginning. There’s a lot of opportunities for this partnership to help both organizations reach new heights and turn visions to reality.” PLDT Enterprise supports ePLDT and Radius Telecoms Inc. through its wide array of fixed and wireless solutions, empowering businesses with technologies to further help them transform and optimize operations. “By collaborating with partners like Radius Telecoms to build robust and world-class facilities, as well as hyperconnected data centers that enable enterprises for hypergrowth, we are propelling ourselves closer to the Philippines vision of becoming a regional hyperscaler hub,” concluded Genuino.
