DICT secretary Henry R. Aguda said the project will add more than 1,000 kilometers of government-owned fiber network connecting cities in Mindanao, including Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Bukidnon, Zamboanga, and Davao.
The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) said Phases 2 and 3 of the National Broadband Project will push high-speed Internet deeper into the Cagayan Region, CALABARZON, Bicol, Eastern Visayas, and key areas in Mindanao such as Cagayan de Oro and Davao City.
The National Fiber Backbone Phase 1 is a 1,245-kilometer cable network from Laoag, Ilocos Norte to Roces, Quezon City, illuminating 28 nodes and delivering an initial 600 Gbps optical spectrum capacity.
