The international arm of PLDT Inc. has signed an agreement with Bru-Haas (B) SDN BHD to enhance international subsea connectivity through strategic utilization of the Asia Direct Cable (ADC) and Apricot subsea cable systems.

In a statement, Albert Villa-Real, PLDT Global president and chief executive officer, said the memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Bru-Haas signifies the company’s continued dedication to expand and enhance its subsea cable infrastructure.

Through the MOU, PLDT Global will provide Bru-Haas with international subsea capacity on both the Asia ADC and Apricot systems.

This collaboration is expected to significantly enhance the network architecture managed by Bru-Haas, which includes Points of Presence in Brunei, Hong Kong, Singapore, Angola and Los Angeles.

With access to the Asia America Gateway and Southeast Asia Japan Cable Systems, among other regional cable systems, Bru-Haas is now even better positioned to deliver superior connectivity solutions.

PLDT Global and Bru-Haas said their partnership is built on a foundation of mutual support in providing reliable connectivity solutions.

The MOU reinforces their commitment to leveraging advanced subsea infrastructure to meet the growing demand for high-speed, low-latency connectivity across key regions.

The ADC is an intra-Asia submarine cable system designed to link Southeast Asia, China and Japan. It plays a critical role in bolstering regional connectivity, providing a robust and resilient infrastructure that supports the increasing data traffic and digital needs of the region.

The Apricot cable system is a state-of-the-art Asia Pacific submarine network that connects Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan, Guam and Japan. This system is pivotal in enhancing connectivity between these regions, ensuring seamless data flow and supporting the digital transformation initiatives of businesses and consumers.

By integrating ADC and Apricot into Bru-Haas’ existing network infrastructure, both companies aim to provide their customers with more reliable and high-speed connectivity options.

“We are excited to strengthen our collaboration with PLDT Global through this MOU. By integrating the Asia Direct Cable and Apricot subsea cable systems into our network, we are significantly enhancing our capability to deliver high-speed, low-latency connectivity solutions across key regions. This partnership underscores our commitment to providing reliable and advanced connectivity infrastructure that supports the digital transformation of businesses and communities. With PLDT’s support, we are committed to the success of our customers and partners,” said Dai Song, Bru-Haas managing director.
