Local telecommunications firm PT&T Corporation has partnered with Australian technology innovator Netlinkz Limited to establish a joint venture in network security and connectivity for businesses across the Philippines.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, PT&T said this joint venture will serve as the Philippines' hub for Netlinkz’s cutting-edge products, featuring the advanced Virtual Secured Network Plus (VSN+).
Additionally, it will leverage the availability of broadband connectivity provided by smaller, portable, and mobile satellite dishes, offering broadband internet to previously inaccessible regions.
Through this partnership, enterprises throughout the country, particularly in areas historically underserved by traditional fiber internet providers, will gain access to high-speed, low-latency connectivity with enterprise-grade network security.
The joint venture’s scope extends beyond satellite broadband services. It will also introduce a comprehensive suite of IT solutions, further strengthening Filipino businesses’ digital capabilities.
Notably, Netlinkz will bring its core solutions in Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SDWAN) and Cybersecurity to the Philippine market.
These solutions, already trusted by leading enterprises globally, will enable Filipino businesses to enhance operational efficiency, secure their data, and maintain seamless connectivity.
By leveraging Netlinkz’ global expertise, the joint venture ensures that local enterprises benefit from the same high-performance, secure, and scalable network solutions that have been trialled 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.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with PT&T to bring our advanced VSN+, satellite internet, and cybersecurity solutions to the Philippines,” said Netlinkz Chief Executive Officer James Tsiolis.
He noted that, “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.”
PT&T President and CEO James Velasquez said “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.”
PT&T said that, through the introduction of VSN+, SDWAN, and advanced cybersecurity services, businesses across the nation will be empowered to achieve new levels of performance, security, and growth.
