Converge ICT to Leverage Ribbon’s AI-Enabled Data Transmission Technology

Leading fiber broadband and technology provider Converge ICT Solutions Inc. is enhancing its nationwide fiber network with an advanced data transmission technology from NASDAQ-listed Ribbon Communications Inc. to strengthen its network in response to the growing need for high-speed, low-latency, and reliable connectivity.

Converge will leverage Ribbon’s advanced Muse Multilayer Automation Platform (MAP) designed to maximize the value of IP Optical network investments through comprehensive control, analysis, design, and planning applications. Its powerful low-code automation and customization engines allow Converge to optimize its resources and maintain peak network performance. Converge is accelerating its network automation journey by leveraging Ribbon’s Muse platform and AI capabilities.

“We are planning important developments in the products and services we offer to our customers, and it’s vital that our infrastructure can support these. Adopting this new technology is essential for effectively managing large amounts of data from IoT applications, cloud services, and future innovations,” said Converge CEO and Co-Founder Dennis Anthony Uy.

“We are delighted to support Converge in enhancing their network, which has been acknowledged as one of the most advanced in the Philippines. Our cutting-edge technology delivers exceptional performance, enabling companies like Converge to even strengthen their competitive advantage,” said Ribbon Communications CEO and President Bruce McClelland.

This collaboration expands nationwide the initial tie up between Converge and Ribbon to integrate the US firm’s cutting-edge 5 nanometer (nm) – 140Gbaud transmission chipset, which boosts the firm’s network capacity to 1.2 Terabits per second (Tbps). This technology was first rolled out in the metro and regional sites of Converge across North and Central Luzon.

Now, the said optical transmission solution will be implemented throughout the rest of the network infra sites of Converge across the country, bringing about substantial improvements in the company’s overall data transmission capacity and operational efficiency nationwide.

Uy highlighted that deploying this technology will ensure that their fiber network is equipped to support next-generation services such as high-speed broadband, cloud applications, and enterprise solutions.
