Aika Rey

Converge ICT Solutions is eyeing to spend $200 million for another subsea cable system connected to the United States.

Converge chief executive officer Dennis Uy said on Wednesday, December 15, that the submarine cable system to be linked to the US will have three fiber pairs, compared to just one in the Bifrost cable system which the company has usage rights to.

He added that Converge is planning to invest in another submarine cable system in the Asia Pacific – which has already been built – but he declined to give further details.

“I can’t say yet. But we are still waiting for the approval of the US FCC (Federal Communications Commission),” said Uy in Filipino.
