HGC Global Communications, an ICT service provider and network operator with extensive global coverage, is working with Ciena to deploy cutting-edge technology for the Hong Kong-based firm’s Data Center Interconnect (DCI) service.
This initiative is poised to enhance the country’s digital infrastructure, catering to the burgeoning demand for high-speed, reliable network solutions from carriers, global cloud providers, and enterprise customers.
With Ciena’s optical and routing technologies, HGC can expect to provide high-performance data centre connectivity with reduced latency to its customers. This collaboration enhances HGC’s service offerings, giving its customers access to seamless data transfers and ensuring business continuity.
To be implemented by Ciena partner CommVerge Solutions, Ciena’s 6500 Packet-Optical Platform powered by WaveLogic Ai coherent optical technology will support HGC in gaining better flexibility, improved scalability, and adaptability of its network.
HGC is also leveraging Ciena’s 3928 routing and switching platform to improve efficiency of operations and service consistency across applications.
“As the Philippines rapidly digitises, HGC is advancing high-speed, reliable connectivity through its operations on the ground in partnership with local entities, ensuring the country’s connectivity needs are met,” said Michael De Castro, First VP – in-country project investment at HGC’s International Business.
“With this robust infrastructure, the country is set to enhance connectivity, drive innovation, and attract global investments,” said de Castro. “By working with Ciena, we’re investing in a scalable and low-latency architecture to help our partners simplify their approach and set up quickly in new markets.”
HGC will also use Ciena’s Navigator Network Control Suite to support rapid planning, provisioning, turning-up, and troubleshooting of services, as well as the use of analytics and intelligent network control to optimise network performance.
“HGC is establishing an edge for itself by leveraging Ciena’s technologies and our strong reputation with global Tier 1 operators and cloud providers to form an attractive proposition to expand their presence in the Philippines,” said Matt Vesperman, Ciena’s VP in Asia Pacific.
