Grant Description
On November 20, 2018, China Telecom and the Department of Information and Communications Telecommunications Technology (DICT) of the Philippines signed a joint letter of intent for a feasibility study to build a cable landing station and make use of China Telecom’s existing submarine cables. The project aims to increase the speed of internet connectivity within the Philippines.
DICT Acting Secretary Eliseo Rio Jr. and China Telecom Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Yang Jie signed the letter of intent.
Under the proposal, China Telecom’s international submarine telecommunications cable will directly connect Hong Kong, the United States, and the Philippines.
The facility will use optical fiber technology to carry signal and digital data, including telephone and internet traffic, across oceans and seas.
China Telecom will connect the submarine cable landing station of the Ministry of Communications with the Hong Kong-US submarine communication cable. The current status of the project is uncertain.
