The joint venture’s scope extends beyond satellite broadband services. It will also introduce a comprehensive suite of IT solutions, further strengthening the digital capabilities of Filipino businesses. Notably, Netlinkz will bring its core solutions in Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SDWAN) and Cybersecurity to the Philippine market. These solutions, already trusted by leading enterprises globally, will enable Filipino businesses to enhance operational efficiency, secure their data, and maintain seamless connectivity.
