Premier Philippine telecommunications company Eastern Communications has officially landed in Zamboanga City, keeping its commitment to helping Filipinos grow and evolve as it introduces a full suite of ICT solutions to local businesses.
Through its “Via Eastern” expansion campaign, Eastern Communications broadens its footprint and emphasizes its goal to democratize technology for Zamboanga-based businesses.
In a recent report by the Philippine Statistics Authority, the industry and services sectors are two of the biggest contributors to the Zamboanga Peninsula’s economic growth. This includes manufacturing, construction, finance, real estate, and trade among others.
With this, Eastern Communications aims to foster the province’s economic growth and enable local companies to embrace and utilize digital solutions.
“2023 is Zamboanga’s year and we want Filipinos in the area to know that our services are now within their reach. Through this expansion, we look forward to empowering more businesses, families, and individuals through reliable connectivity and ICT services. We are confident we can provide them with an avenue to help them connect with each other and the rest of the world and enable them to grow their businesses,” said Eastern Communications Co-coordinator Atty. Aileen Regio.
Navigating businesses’ digital transformation
Eastern Communications is an ICT solutions provider with an extensive and comprehensive portfolio of services. This includes reliable connectivity and business tools, ensuring a smooth and productive digital transformation journey for local businesses of Zamboanga.
Eastern Communications recognizes the difficulties of recovering from challenges like the pandemic, typhoon onslaught, and other natural disasters, which is why the company furthers its reach to cities like Zamboanga with great business potential.
In the pursuit of a better future, Eastern Communications urges businesses to evolve with the telco as they arise and develop their businesses digitally.
“We are thrilled that Eastern Communications has reached Zamboanga City. With its rapid economic progress, we believe the digitalization of the city will further accelerate the growth of its local businesses. Digital transformation not only enhances business operations and transactions, but it also equips Filipinos with solutions that make them resilient and future-ready,” shared Eastern Communications Co-Coordinator Vince Tempongko.
Reliable connectivity with Internet Direct Service (IDS)
Eastern Communications brings to Zamboanga its Internet Direct Service (IDS) and Fiber 1 connectivity products that provide fast, private network connectivity that is essential for businesses with special bandwidth requirements. Through IDS, Eastern Communications’ subscribers can own fast and secure connectivity by offering an optimized path routing that is inaccessible to other residential and commercial customers within the area.
In addition, Eastern Communications’ IDS ensures that businesses are always connected, reachable, and available to their employees and clients with symmetrical speed for both download and upload activities.
Compared to regularly shared broadband alternatives, Eastern IDS offers dedicated connectivity and lets you own your bandwidth with its lightning-fast speeds reaching up to 10 Gbps. With this, you can future-proof your business and choose from a variety of plans that can match your growth.
Expanding footprint and services
The Philippine Domestic Submarine Cable Network (PDSCN), the longest undersea fiber cable network in the Philippines, is a joint venture among Eastern Communications, Globe Group, and Infinivan Inc. The 2,500-km fiber-optic cable is now linked to segments in Zamboanga City, Zamboanga del Norte; and Liloy and Dipolog in Zamboanga del Sur.
In line with Eastern Communications’ goal of nationwide digitization, the $150 million PDSCN project intends to make the Internet more accessible for regional businesses by improving broadband connectivity in Zamboanga and other underserved areas in the Philippines. As of this date, the PDSCN project has successfully reached a total of 33 sites including Iloilo, Bacolod, Boracay, Cebu, Siargao, Camiguin, and Zamboanga Peninsula, among others.
