Converge Information and Communications Technology Solutions, Inc. continues to defy the status quo as it gets its first live customer running on the next-generation FTTX network called 10GPON or technically known as XGS-PON. This technology can provide symmetric upload and download speeds up to 10 Gigabits per second with an average speed of 8Gbps – an industry-first in the Philippines!
Driven by more bandwidth-hungry applications, more users, and more devices, most fiber access networks today use GPON technology to keep with the increasing demand. Committed to providing world class internet in the country, Converge brings it to another level by not just offering GPON, but a XGS-PON network to its business clients, similar to what first world countries are currently using.
“10GPON is a futureproof service that allows businesses to expand their network and increase the number of users at a cost-efficient manner. This is a long-term and reliable investment that can bring your business to new heights,” says Converge Founder and CEO Dennis Anthony Uy.
Businesses cannot afford to deal with slow speeds or unreliable connectivity. With a 10GPON network, they are guaranteed to have a backbone that their business can rely on. Fast speed is one thing, but consistency plays a huge role in servicing the needs of organizations. Converge provides a consistent network – in fact they have been hailed as the most consistent high-speed internet for three straight quarters by Ookla® this 2021. Consistency score reflects the percentage of a provider’s data samples that meet minimum thresholds for download and upload speeds. For Q3, Converge garnered a consistency score of 82.13% – the higher a provider’s consistency score is, the more likely a customer can enjoy internet performance and quality.
With a 10GPON network and high consistency score, customers can access the services they need in real time, with close to zero delays. Businesses can expect to reduce traffic jams on their networks, allow the storage and transfer of data instantaneously, and trust that their fiber-powered GPON connectivity will be consistent when they need it most. And on top of that, XGS-PON is easy and cost-effective to upgrade on an existing PON infrastructure.
“As one of the key poultry integrators in the Philippines, a consistent and reliable fiber network allows our operations to be more efficient, resulting in higher margins. Real time, we can view our live feeds in the farm, monitor quality over our video systems, and even track the transport of our live chicken. All these have been possible with technology, and of course our 10G internet connectivity thanks to Converge,” says Foster Foods CEO Garry Uy.
“This partnership with Foster Foods allows us to showcase what businesses can now avail with Converge. Our 10GPON connectivity is live – complete with enterprise-grade WiFi 6 access points, 10GE uplink, and mesh solution. In the coming months, we expect to see more businesses utilizing this capacity as it gives them competitive advantage,” says Converge COO Jesus Romero.
Once again, Converge sets the bar one notch higher with solutions that truly address the needs of the unserved and underserved markets. With this, they aim to empower businesses to become more agile and stand above in these unprecedented times.
