President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. announced that the Philippines will be connected to the first subsea cable system from the United States that would improve Wi-Fi connection in the country.
Marcos bared that the country will benefit from the project that will put a submarine fiber optic cable from the west coast of the United States which will give bigger bandwidth and faster internet connection.
“I just finished a meeting with the Converge group who have tied up with the Keppel group to put in a submarine fiber optic cable from the west coast of the United States; it will connect to the Philippines and it will also connect to Singapore and Indonesia and this will again give us bigger bandwidth,” Marcos said.
The President said the Bifrost Cable System Project, a joint undertaking of Converge and Keppel T&T, would include the Philippines in its fiber optic cable coming from the west coast of the United States. The multiple fiber-paired, high-performance Bifrost Cable System will also be the largest high-speed transmission cable across the Pacific Ocean, it added.
