Global Communications Limited (HGC), a global ICT service provider and network operator, has expanded its trademarked flagship ultra-low latency solution Eyeball-as-a-Service (EaaS) in the Philippines. It initially launched the service earlier this year in Singapore. The HGC EaaS edge offering enables real-time, high-performance, high-density computing and data analytics resulting in a better user experience. It targets over-the-top service providers, satellite businesses, ISPs, content providers and other modern application companies. EaaS considers regional routing and IP relat- ed services, bringing on route diversity that provisions ultra-low-latency and more robust bandwidth, while it also offers disaster redundancy preventing profit-hitting downtime. EaaS helps businesses looking to reach extensive eyeball coverage in the Philippines, expanding in and out of the country. Riding on HGC’s comprehensive set of digital infrastructures, the extended EaaS coverage is scaling to support digital globalization and faster market entry by international players to reach 400 million eyeballs in Southeast Asia. With a population that exceeds 110 million people, the Philippines is digitiz- ing rapidly with a high internet penetra- tion expected to reach 77 percent by next year, despite its geography of more than 7,600 islands. HGC has also made several value- added services available to complement the EaaS solution, enabling multiple levels of connectivity from international backbone to fixed access with network design customization, edge servers, cloud platform deployment, system integration and managed services. 55 Fall 2021 | CHANNEL V ISION
