Converge partakes in Fiber Network Council APAC 2024
The Fiber Network Council APAC (FNC APAC), the Asia Pacific’s organization of broadband and telecommunications industries, held its flagship conference in the Philippines on Tuesday (November 5), focusing on emerging technologies and how fiber-based solutions can propel these further.
The FiberConnect APAC Conference 2024, in partnership with leading Philippine fiber broadband and technology solutions provider Converge ICT Solutions Inc., featured experts, industrialists, internet service providers, and various stakeholders in the fiber industry who imparted insights on the current developments driving fiber deployment in the region.
“As the pioneer of fiber technology in the Philippines, it is my honor to bring the region’s foremost fiber professionals and specialists to the country and showcase not just our company’s growth, but the development of the fiber industry as a whole, especially in the context of rapidly growing technologies such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing,” noted Dennis Anthony H. Uy, CEO of Converge ICT, a founding member of the FNC APAC.
“Converge ICT is the first broadband operator-member of FNC APAC from the Philippines and they are a prime example of what fiber transformation can do in the Philippines’ case. We want to highlight how fiber networks can be sustainable in a geographically challenging country, coupled with high technical skills in supporting industries such as call centers and design engineering firms. If people around the world are designing smart cities, they should know a lot of the brain work is being done in the Philippines,” noted Dr. Fouad ‘Frank’ Jaffer, FNC APAC’s Conference Chair. Lending his insight and support to the industry event is Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Secretary Ivan John Uy, who underlined the government’s primary initiatives to catalyse fiber network growth and fiber broadband penetration in the Philippines.
