PLDT Enterprise links up LIMA Estate

MANILA, Philippines — PLDT Enterprise has been selected by Aboitiz InfraCapital to roll out fiber connectivity within the 794-hectare LIMA Estate in Batangas, the largest privately-owned industrial park in the country.

Dennis Magbatoc, AVP  and corporate relationship management head of PLDT Enterprise, said the fiber rollout would provide high-speed internet, both wired and wireless connectivity, inside the industrial estate’s existing offices and enterprise locators.

PLDT Enterprise will also provide solutions and services to support the connectivity requirements in the industrial park.

These include Smart postpaid plans, mobile number portability, and ePLDT services such as enterprise resource planning, cloud, and cybersecurity services.

“We are excited to partner with LIMA Estate as it endeavors to enable fast and reliable internet connection within their vicinity. We share Aboitiz InfraCapital’s vision to strengthen their network infrastructure to allow efficient and secure telecommunication that is needed to open up new possibilities for LIMA Estate’s future growth,” Magbatoc said.

Aboitiz InfraCapital envisions LIMA Estate to be the next leading mixed-use economic center in the CALABARZON region.

It targets to accommodate business process outsourcing companies, dormitories, hotels, schools, hospitals, and other establishments in the coming years.

The mixed-use development zone  hosts 130 locators, 167 retail stores and restaurants, a 138-room four-star hotel, a transportation hub, and holds over 2,000 households.  It also employs over 60,000 employees.

LIMA Land vice president for operations Clifford Academia said the fiber rollout would greatly benefit the requirements of the company’s existing industrial locators, as well as the future users in both the industrial expansion and fast-growing central business district, especially with the anticipated influx of BPO companies in LIMA Tower One.

“With this fiber rollout, we are assured of high-quality and reliable internet access for businesses, as well as for homes in the area. With the assistance of PLDT Enterprise, we will have an even greater experience at LIMA as we provide network redundancy, keeping communications services constantly up and running in the premises with little to no downtime,” Acedemia said.
