Globe’s new bet: AI-ready cable
Globe Telecom is partnering with global telcos to build an 8,900-kilometer submarine cable system called Asia United Gateway East (AUG East) to boost bandwidth and network reliability in East Asia.
The AUG East project aims to address the growing demand for high-speed connectivity, especially with the rise of artificial intelligence.
The submarine cable will connect key digital hubs in Singapore and Japan, with landing points in the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, South Korea, and Taiwan.
This initiative is seen as a crucial step in strengthening the Philippines' digital infrastructure and enabling businesses to compete globally.
The project is scheduled for completion by the third quarter of 2029.
