Velox Networks, the Singapore-headquartered cloud telephony provider, is expanding into the Philippines as new telecom policies ease market entry and push businesses toward internet-based voice systems.
Velox Networks is entering its third Southeast Asian market following Singapore and Malaysia, banking on regulatory changes under the Konektadong Pinoy Act (Republic Act No. 12234), signed in early 2026. The law promotes shared telecom infrastructure and allows more providers to deliver enterprise communications services, breaking long-standing barriers dominated by a few incumbents.
“The Philippines is at an inflection point. New legislation is finally creating the regulatory framework for modern telecommunications infrastructure, and businesses across the country are ready for enterprise-grade voice solutions that don’t depend on aging copper and cable networks,” said Martin Nygate, founder and CEO of Velox Networks.
Nygate said cloud telephony removes the need for physical wiring and legacy PBX systems, delivering voice services entirely over the internet.
“For a country that’s actively trying to move beyond its cable infrastructure challenges, that’s a compelling proposition,” he said.
Velox has set up a 12-person team across Manila, Cebu, and other key cities to support local operations. The company said the Philippine market requires the same level of enterprise-grade service already offered in its existing markets.
The expansion comes as the government steps up efforts to fix infrastructure issues, including “spaghetti wires” seen across urban areas. Metro Manila and Cebu have both pushed for underground cabling, while House Bill 1403 proposes nationwide standards and penalties for poor cable management.
The shift is significant for the country’s more than one million micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), many of which still rely on personal phones and messaging apps for business.
Velox said its platform offers cloud-based business numbers, automatic call recording, CRM integrations, multi-location support, and enterprise-grade security, allowing companies to professionalize communications without investing in physical infrastructure.
