PLDT Inc. officially fired up the US-Transpacific Jupiter Cable system, the Philippines’ fastest, direct data cable link to the US and Japan. This latest cable system will immensely boost the country’s international data capacity and advance the digital infrastructure needed to further spur the country’s economic growth.

The country’s largest integrated telco, PLDT Inc. (“PLDT”) marked another milestone as it leads the Jupiter Cable System landing ceremony in Daet, Camarines Norte.

The country’s largest fully integrated telco PLDT (PSE:TEL ; NYSE:PHI) reinforces its lead among local carriers with the most number of Philippine-terminating cables as it activates the US-Transpacific Jupiter cable system by July this year.

The country’s largest integrated telecommunications provider PLDT is set on expanding its international bandwidth capacity by five-fold with the completion of the Jupiter Cable system that will further boost the country’s strategic position as a premium data and cable hub in the region among the growing interest of global hyperscalers.

PLDT has finalized the technical and management agreements with a consortium of international providers for "JUPITER," a trans-Pacific cable system.
