DITO Tel launches enterprise business

New major telecommunications player DITO Telecommunity Corporation on Tuesday launched a unit catering to enterprises to capture the growing small and medium enterprise (SME) sector.

At a press conference in Taguig City, DITO Tel chief administrative officer Adel Tamano introduced DITO Business—the telco’s foray into the business-to-business segment of the country’s telecommunications space.

This unit will cater to the still underserved SMEs, DITO Tel chief executive officer Eric Alberto said.

“We have nearly one million enterprises registered, 800,000 are active and operating… a lot of their requirements are still underserved,” he added.

Tamano said DITO Tel will officially introduce plans for enterprises by the first quarter of 2024.

“Choosing DITO Business means choosing a standalone 5G network architecture that is independent of existing legacy infrastructures. This will future-proof your business—we are the only telco in the country that can legitimately claim this,” Tamano said.

“Only DITO Business standalone 5G can unleash the full potential of 5G, offering enhanced speed, lower latency, and the ability to connect a massive number of devices simultaneously,” the DITO official said.

Alberto said that from one million subscribers in June 2021, “DITO now enjoys the support of more than nine million SIM -registered subscribers.”

“DITO has now successfully built over 7,000 base stations, covering over 830 cities and municipalities and exceeding 80% of our population network coverage. Given this, we are confidently on track to achieve the  5th and final  year hurdle of 84% on schedule in 2024,” the DITO Tel chief said. — BM, GMA Integrated News
