Converge ICT Solutions Inc. is set to provide internet connectivity, cloud services and other enterprise-grade technology solutions to locators at the 600-hectare hub of Lopez-led First Philippine Industrial Park (FPIP) in Batangas.
In a statement on Tuesday, the fiber internet company said it had inked a strategic partnership with FPIP for such purposes last week in Pasig City.
Converge will light up FPIP’s dark—or unused—fiber network to deliver internet connection to more than 150 businesses in the industrial park, which include Canon Business Machines, Collins Aerospace, Dyson, Honda Philippines and Nestlé Philippines.
FPIP invested in this shared infrastructure to support quicker deployment of fiber internet services for their locators. “Industrial parks such as FPIP, whose main clientele are multinationals, are major engines of economic growth not just for Calabarzon [region] but for the entire country,” Converge CEO and co-founder Dennis Uy said.
The commercial agreement with FPIP is the internet service provider’s first major project under the newly formed Converge Global Business Group, which caters to enterprise clients. —Tyrone Jasper C. Piad
