GLOBE Telecom commercially launched Friday the $250-million Southeast Asia-United States (SEA-US) submarine cable system that provides direct links between Davao and the United States for enhanced international connectivity for businesses in Mindanao and the rest of the country.
Outside of Luzon, the undersea cable is the first direct connection of Globe to the United States via Guam, Hawaii and California, offering faster transmission of data to the US.
The facility bypasses the Taiwan earthquake zone to ensure continuity of service and resiliency. (PR)
