The new service addresses the rising demand for data center connectivity, driven by increasing cloud adoption, content hosting, and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. HGC’s infrastructure, built using advanced Horizontal Directional Drilling technology, minimizes disruptions and enhances service reliability.
“Our service is backed by reputable partners and customers who believe in the strong capability of the group as proven by its international success,” said Michael De Castro, FVP for In-Country Project Investment of HGC.
HGC’s DCI network in the Philippines will connect with clusters in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, further integrating the region’s digital landscape while positioning the Philippines as a growing international hub.
