PLDT expands network service with UK firm

PHILIPPINE Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT), has expanded its global Points of Presence (PoP) with the launch of an additional PoP in the UK through Telehouse Europe, one of the world’s largest data center owner operators.

Jovy Hernandez, PLDT first vice president and PLDT ALPHA Enterprise head, said that the move allows PLDT to offer pan-global connectivity from the Philippines to the United Kingdom, and with this deal, signed through PLDT UK, the company can now provide clients with an Ethernet International Private Leased Circuit (E/IPLC) service from the United Kingdom to the rest of the world, as part of its Global Managed Ethernet service offerings.
