This joint venture will serve as the Philippines’ hub for Netlinkz’s cutting-edge products, featuring the advanced Virtual Secured Network Plus (VSN+), PT&T disclosed to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE).

James Velasquez, CEO and President of PT&T, remarked, “Our partnership with Netlinkz marks a significant milestone for PT&T. Together, we are poised to transform network security and connectivity across the Philippines, providing innovative technology solutions that will empower our clients to thrive in today’s fast-paced, digital-first environment.”

James Tsiolis, CEO of Netlinkz, commented, “We are thrilled to collaborate with PT&T to bring our advanced VSN+, satellite internet, and cybersecurity solutions to the Philippines. This joint venture combines our global expertise with PT&T’s local insights, delivering top-tier services that cater to the evolving needs of businesses in the region.”

The partnership will leverage broadband connectivity provided by smaller, portable, and mobile satellite dishes, offering broadband internet to previously inaccessible regions.

Through this approach, enterprises, particularly in areas currently underserved by traditional fiber internet providers, will gain access to high-speed, low-latency connectivity with enterprise-grade network security.

Apart from satellite broadband services, the joint venture will introduce a comprehensive suite of information technology (IT) solutions designed to strengthen the digital capabilities of Filipino businesses.

Netlinkz will also bring its core solutions in Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SDWAN) and cybersecurity to the Philippine market.

These solutions, already used by leading enterprises in various countries, will enable Filipino businesses to enhance operational efficiency, secure their data, and maintain seamless connectivity.

The partnership ensures that local enterprises benefit from the same high-performance, secure, and scalable network solutions that have been tested and adopted by international businesses worldwide.

The focus on SDWAN and advanced cybersecurity will empower businesses to safeguard their digital assets, optimize network infrastructure, and maintain agility amid rapid technological advancements.
