Cable&Wireless Worldwide and Philippine Long Distance Telecommunications (PLDT) are expanding their seven-year long strategic partnership to deliver Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network connectivity and value-added telecommunications services to enterprise customers in the Philippines, one of Asia’s fastest growing economies.

The two corporate partners see a key growth opportunity in the country’s telecommunication sector as demand for broadband services grows, specifically from global providers of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services for IP-based Contact Centre (IPCC) solutions and support services into and out of the Philippines.

Already, Cable&Wireless Worldwide works with some of the leading providers of BPO services based in India and across the Asia Pacific, providing high-speed, predictable and secure connectivity services.

The company has invested into a resilient and secure network infrastructure in the Philippines with Points of Presence (POPs) in Manila City and Pasig.
