|October 31, 2024
Globe Telecom Inc. will serve as the Philippine partner for an undersea cable system that would run for more than 19,000 kilometers from Malaysia to the U.S.
Hexa Capital Consultancy PLT yesterday identified Globe as the landing party for the Philippine segment of the Malaysia-US (MYUS) Cable System.
Hexa, which owns MYUS, said Globe would be assigned to put up in Davao City the landing station for the underwater cable.
MYUS will be built with 16 fiber pairs along its backbone, and the infrastructure is scheduled to be finished by 2028. MYUS will provide the first direct fiber connectivity between Malaysia and the U.S., improving the speed of data transfer in Southeast Asia, including the Philippines.
