Globe Business levels up internet reachability

Globe Business recently announced its connectivity to the Singapore Internet Exchange (SGIX) at its Singapore point-of-presence (POP), further optimizing and enhancing the Globe ICT arm's internet peering in the Asia-Pacific region during the SGIX 3rd Annual General Meeting. During the meeting, it was formally announced that Globe is the first Philippine carrier-member of the non-profit, open, and neutral internet exchange which enhances the internet environment for local and international IP traffic. Globe Business Senior Product Manager for Internet Core Service & IP Peering Achie Atienza (third from left in the photo) said that the company’s linkage with SGIX reflects its support as a key player in the internet industry in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as establishes its affinity with the IP community in this part of Southeast Asia.  For his part, SGIX Chairman Patrick Scodeller added that the participation of Globe in SGIX further enhances capabilities in building a more efficient Internet, providing benefits to the local peering community and effectively reaching the large Philippine community through Globe. The gathering also served as a strategic venue to introduce Globe and its capabilities to the SGIX members. Currently, Globe has the most extensive global IP infrastructure among all Philippine carriers.
