PLDT Inc. said Tuesday it inaugurated its international cable landing station in Daet, Camarines Norte to boost its international capacity.
“This new cable system significantly advances not just PLDT’s digital infrastructure, but more importantly, the overall digital readiness of the country as well,” PLDT and Smart Communications first vice president Jojo Gendrano said.
“The Jupiter Cable system serves as an international highway for global data traffic to reach the Philippines. It is expected to exponentially boost the country’s international capacity to the USA and Japan, further encourage the global trade of digital services, and as a result propel the country’s digital economy,” he said.
The Jupiter Cable System is the latest addition to PLDT’s 16 international cables routing critical data traffic going in and out of the country. It traverses the Pacific Ocean from North America connecting directly to Maruyama and Shima in Japan and to Daet, Camarines Norte in the Philippines. It is now the fastest cable system between the Philippines and the United States.
