Connectbase, the operating system for connected commerce, has announced a strategic collaboration with Converge ICT Solutions Inc., one of the leading broadband and technology providers in the Philippines. The collaboration aims to expand the Connectbase connectivity ecosystem across Southeast Asia and strengthen global access to one of the fastest-growing digital markets in the region.
Through this partnership, Converge joins the Connectbase platform, allowing its advanced fiber and subsea infrastructure to become digitally accessible to global carriers and enterprises. With automated, API-driven connectivity commerce, businesses can now access network services more efficiently and at scale.
Expanding Global Connectivity Access
The collaboration significantly extends Connectbase’s global footprint into the Philippines while enabling Converge to showcase its high-performance pure-fiber network to a broader international buyer community.
Using the Connectbase platform, global carriers and enterprises can now instantly discover:
- Network serviceability
- Pricing availability
- Infrastructure coverage across millions of Philippine locations
This digital approach replaces traditional manual and email-driven sourcing processes with real-time automation, improving speed and transparency for connectivity procurement.
Supporting the Growth of Southeast Asia’s Digital Economy
According to Ben Edmond, the demand for intelligent connectivity infrastructure is rapidly increasing as digital transformation accelerates across the region.
“As AI workloads, cloud regionalization, and cross-border enterprise operations accelerate across Southeast Asia, access to automated and location-precise connectivity has become critical infrastructure rather than just a procurement convenience,” Edmond said.
He also noted that Converge has developed a world-class fiber network, while Connectbase provides the digital platform that enables global buyers to access it instantly.
Converge’s Advanced Fiber Network Infrastructure
Converge ICT Solutions Inc. operates one of the youngest and most advanced end-to-end pure-fiber networks in the Philippines. The company’s network infrastructure spans more than 896,000 kilometers and covers nearly 60% of households across the country.
In addition to its domestic infrastructure, Converge has invested in major trans-Pacific subsea cable systems that directly connect the Philippines to key global hubs such as:
- United States
- Singapore
- Hong Kong
These connections play a vital role in improving regional internet resilience and strengthening international connectivity.
Accelerating the Global Connectivity Economy
Dennis Anthony H. Uy described the collaboration as a major step toward integrating the Philippines into the global connectivity ecosystem.
“This joint effort represents a major milestone in making the Philippines fully accessible to the global connectivity economy,” Uy said. “By joining the Connectbase ecosystem, carriers and enterprises worldwide can engage with our network in seconds rather than days, supporting the continued expansion of Southeast Asia’s digital economy.”
Final Thoughts
The strategic collaboration between Connectbase and Converge highlights the growing importance of automated connectivity marketplaces. As demand for cloud services, AI infrastructure, and cross-border enterprise networks increases, partnerships like this will play a crucial role in accelerating digital transformation across Southeast Asia.
For businesses seeking faster, automated connectivity procurement, the integration of Converge’s fiber network into the Connectbase ecosystem marks a significant advancement in the region’s digital infrastructure landscape.
