Villar group subsidiary launches new telco


The Villar group’s Prime Asset Ventures, Inc. (PAVI) officially launched its telecommunications subsidiary, Streamtech Systems Technologies, Inc., to serve the country’s growing need for high quality and dependable internet services.

“We have high hopes of providing internet services to the farthest reach possible, also in line with our commitment to provide high quality services to Filipinos across the country. We are very confident that we can greatly boost the internet experience of our existing and future customers,” said Paolo Villar, owner and founder of PAVI.

According to a company statement, Streamtech intends to take over the internet systems operations of Planet Cable, Inc., a multi-system operator offering cable TV services, cable-Internet, and digital video broadcast.

Thus, Planet Cable’s operations in Luzon (Regions I, III, NCR, and CALABARZON), Visayas (Iloilo Province), and Mindanao (Davao) will soon be under Streamtech.

The new telco entity has established strong peering with Tier 1 global internet upstream providers, most especially those in the Asia-Pacific and United States routes.

Having its international point of presence has allowed Streamtech to easily expand capacity to multiple Gigabit connectivity.

Localized content and peering add to its network strength, making it easier to deliver good connections using a fully meshed metro ethernet supporting fiber reach.

Moreover, it has secured a direct partnership with one of the leading international telco equipment manufacturers, with the latter being the technology partner for its network equipment as well as its fiber to the home access technology.

Streamtech initially offers services such as fixed broadband for residential and SMEs, Direct Internet Access, and Metro E connectivity for enterprises.

Some of its major clients include Vista Land & Lifescapes Inc. which operates housing brands Brittany, Crown Asia, Camella Homes, Communities Philippines, and Vista Residences; and essential-services brands PrimeWater, S.I. Power Corp., Kratos RES, E-Prime Business Solutions, and Crystal Clear. As it strives to raise the bar of telecommunications services in the country, apart from offering fast fiber connections, Streamtech also delivers value-added products and services to its clients, such as the Digiclass e-learning bundles, ZPacks vlogging and gaming bundles, and Extendifi wifi extenders. These allow consumers a fuller and more enjoyable experience in terms of internet access.
