The DICT awarded Converge the contract to supply free Wi-Fi connectivity to 36 municipal sites in Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte and four municipal sites in La Union.
The fiber network consists of its subsea, aerial, and terrestrial fiber optic cable network that covers the northernmost tip in Luzon to islands in Visayas and Mindanao.
Rising broadband provider Converge ICT formally announced on Wednesday, March 23, its entry into the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) following the successful conclusion of the sale and transfer of the Alaska franchise to Converge.
Converge said it is planning to use its micro-trenching technology to put key connectivity elements underground, doing away with the need to rely on poles which are prone to damage during typhoons.
