Converge ICT Solutions Inc. said Wednesday it completed its fiber optic loop in North Luzon, ensuring the reliability of high-speed broadband network in the region.
“Amid the continued community quarantine restrictions and lockdowns, Filipinos consume more and more bandwidth at home for work, school, and entertainment. Thus, we aim to cater to the growing demand across the country, including North Luzon,” said Converge chief executive Dennis Anthony Uy.
“We are happy to announce that our fiber network in the region is now completely redundant. This means if there should be a fiber break in the area, services will continue,” he said.
A network is deemed redundant when it has alternate links—network devices and network elements—in its infrastructure that will ensure network availability in case there’s an interruption in one part of the network. In other words, it means having a ‘network back-up’ that ensures availability and stability of the service.
