Eastern Communications: un héritage d'innovation

Fondée en 1878, Eastern Telecommunications Philippines, Inc. (ETPI), désormais connue sous le nom d'Eastern Communications, a la particularité d'être la première entreprise de télécommunications du pays. Aujourd'hui, elle opère comme filiale de Vega Telecom, détenue conjointement par PLDT et Globe Telecom. Eastern Communications a joué un rôle déterminant dans l'amélioration de l'infrastructure numérique des Philippines.

Une réalisation notable est sa participation au Philippine Domestic Submarine Cable Network (PDSCN), un projet de 2 500 km développé en collaboration avec Globe Telecom et InfiniVAN. Cette initiative vise à fournir une connectivité fiable aux régions mal desservies, avec 80 % des câbles posés sous l'eau pour minimiser les perturbations.

Pour sensibiliser davantage les entreprises, Eastern a lancé la série de podcasts « Thoughts on Tech » pendant le Mois de la sensibilisation à la cybersécurité 2024, avec des perspectives d'experts du secteur et de responsables gouvernementaux sur la protection contre les cybermenaces.

Grâce à des initiatives telles que « Access Eastern », l'entreprise organise des sessions de renforcement des capacités en TIC dans diverses régions, visant à réduire la fracture numérique et à promouvoir la culture numérique.
