LOPEZ-OWNED Bayan Telecommunications (Bayantel)
announced upgrades to its broadband services for
corporate customers amid rumors of interest in
Globe Telecom and the dominant carrier Philippine
Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) to either buy
out or buy into the carrier.
This upgrade will allow BayanTel to provide high-speed
broadband services to customers in Makati City,
Ortigas center, and Eastwood Park in Libis, Quezon
City, according to Joevel Rivera, BayanTel vice
president for product development. He indicated
that the new network supports Metro Ethernet connectivity
The Bayantel executive stressed
that this upgrade is in line with the company
goal to develop services that would strengthen
its position in the corporate data market.
This latest upgrade completes
the carrier's metro-broadband optical fiber network
in the key buildings of these central business
districts, Rivera added. This network now covers
over a dozen buildings in these districts.
As corporate demand for more
bandwidth increases, BayanTel said it would
continue deploying additional infrastructure in
buildings throughout the business districts within
and outside Metro Manila.
Meanwhile, Rivera disclosed that
Bayantel is also beginning to upgrade its optical
network for residential customers.
Reaction:
Now that were on age of modern
telecommunications using different services like
broadband, DSL, wireless and so on. Telecommunications
companies have there own plans in upgrading there
resources to become more competitive. One of those
companies is Bayantel.
Bayantel, upgrading its optical
network in business district is quite good for
their organization. Its about maximizing their
customers and as the same time increases also
the profit of Bayantel. In addition, it would
strengthen its position in the corporate data
market due to its developed services.
