Fiber broadband and technology provider Converge ICT Solutions Inc. has inaugurated Converge Angeles Data Center, a 12MW scalable AI-ready facility housing the Converge Cloud, a sovereign cloud infrastructure, the firm said in a press statement last week. With this, the firm has completed its National Digital Infrastructure — a fully integrated, future-ready architecture consisting of its extensive fiber backbone, cable landing stations, and data centers.
Converge will soon integrate into its operations the transpacific link Bifrost and the intra-Asia SEA-H2X cable system. The 20,000-km Bifrost has landing stations in Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Guam and the USA, with an upgraded capacity of more than 260 Tbps. The SEA-H2X cable system, meanwhile, lands in Hong Kong SAR China, Hainan (China), the Philippines, Thailand and Singapore, with an initial design capacity of 160 Tbps.
Both submarine fiber networks, with their respective landing stations in Davao and La Union — owned and operated by Converge — are ready for service, complemented by its fiber backbone which is the youngest and one of the most advanced in the country, the company said.
“You cannot move into AI, cloud, or advanced tech solutions without a strong digital backbone in place. This is the complete stack digital infrastructure that we have built. This is infrastructure designed for full coverage, reliability, and scale,” said Grace Uy, Converge President and Co-Founder.
Present at the launch were First Lady Louise Araneta – Marcos, Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Sec. Henry Aguda, Congresswoman Florabel Yatco, Pampanga Governor Lilia G. Pineda, Vice Governor Dennis Pineda, and Angeles City Mayor Carmelo Lazatin II.
Converge’s other data center facilities include Caloocan Data Center, Reliance Data Center and Clark Data Center.
