Converge announces landing of Bifrost Cable System in Davao, powers global trade through hyperconnected infrastructure

Manila, Philippines – 7 August 2025 – Converge ICT Solutions Inc. (Converge), the Philippines’ leading fiber broadband and technology provider, proudly announces that the trans-pacific Bifrost Cable System has reached Philippine shores, landing in Davao. This marks a significant leap forward in the country’s digital transformation and global connectivity.

Strategically owning and operating the Davao International Cable Landing Station (ICLS) where the Bifrost Philippine branch will be terminated, Converge will very soon provide direct access to one of the most advanced international subsea cable systems, delivering unparalleled speed, resilience, and capacity for global communications.

The Bifrost Cable System is the first trans-pacific system in over two decades that traverses a new route between the United States (California and Oregon), Guam and Southeast Asia via Indonesia, Singapore, and the Philippines—enabling ultra-low latency and high-capacity bandwidth essential for today's digital economy. 

"This milestone is more than a technological achievement—it’s a national enabler. With this critical infrastructure in place, we are not only enabling digital transformation but also creating new trade pathways and opportunities for the Philippines," said Dennis Anthony Uy, CEO and Co-Founder of Converge.

“We are also optimistic on seeing fruitful returns on this significant investment. Since we’ve announced this project, we’ve seen overwhelming demand from carriers and internet service providers (ISPs) seeking to purchase capacity,” noted Uy. 

Unlocking Economic Potential Through Enhanced Infrastructure

With the Bifrost Cable System soon coming into commercial operations, the Converge network will significantly be amplified to support:

• Multi-terabit per second bandwidth for hyperscalers, data centers, and enterprise clients.
• Secure, scalable international gateway access to North America and regional hubs.
• Diversified, disaster-resilient routing to strengthen digital continuity.
• Low-latency connectivity ideal for fintech, media and gaming, cloud services, AI-driven applications, and global content delivery.

This upgrade will empower businesses, financial institutions, tech companies and the public sector to tap into a world-class infrastructure backbone that meets the demands of next-generation applications and global e-commerce.

Positioning the Philippines as a Digital Hub in Asia

As global demand for data exchange, cloud access, and digital services surge, the Bifrost Cable System will enhance the Philippines’ role as a vital node in the international digital ecosystem. The Davao ICLS transforms the Philippines’ southern region into a strategic telecom corridor—attracting investment in data centers, hyperscale operations, and international business expansion.

"Once the 20,000-km Bifrost Cable System lights up, Converge, as the exclusive Philippine partner owning the international cable landing station in Davao, is not just enhancing connectivity—we’re asserting the Philippines' role as a critical digital gateway between Asia and the world," added Uy.

"This is about digital transformation, economic empowerment, and future-proofing our national infrastructure. We are enabling secure, high-capacity, cross-border data flows that will drive global trade, power innovation, and position the Philippines as a formidable player in the digital economy."
