Converge ICT has announced that it is gearing up to double the data transmission capacity of its metro backbone from the existing 400 Gbps to 800 Gbps. The metro backbone connects multiple networks together, allowing them to communicate with each other and push traffic between and among them, such as between two data “Points-of-Presence” typically located in data centers. According to Converge, the upgrade of the backbone to 800 Gbps means more data to be pushed through data centers, decreasing latency, and allowing for high-speed data transfers. Last year, Converge activated the Philippines’ first 400Gbps metro backbone utilizing optical solutions from a United States-based networking systems, services, and software company. Converge ICT says that they have expanded their presence from Central Luzon to Metro Manila and South Luzon, with plans to provide its services to Visayas and Mindanao in the coming years.
