Being around for 33 years, ETSI boasts one of the richest experience in the local telecommunications industry. Its strength lies on competent Filipinos complemented by the proven technical expertise of former strategic partners such as Siemens (1982-2007)a and Nokia (2007-2014).?

Villonco, chairman and general partner of Siguion Reyna, Montecillo and Ongsiako Law Firm, is now the?company's majority shareholder and will remain as the chairman of the board, while Cesar Jacinto V. Castro II, the former SVP and GM of Siemens Philippines and country director of Nokia Siemens Networks Philippines
ETSI?built majority of the country’s fixed, mobile, fiber-optic and data communication networks and was the first to be entrusted with a large-scale outsourced service for mobile network optimization, operation and maintenance.
