PhilTower MIDC and DITO Telecommunity Corporation have entered a strategic agreement to enhance telecommunications infrastructure across the Philippines.
The deal will focus on colocation management to accelerate network expansion and improve digital access nationwide. Under the memorandum of understanding (MoU), PhilTower MIDC will provide colocation management services for DITO’s telecom infrastructure. This arrangement will streamline maintenance operations and facilitate access to third-party operators, promoting more efficient use of resources.
Ernesto R. Alberto, CEO of DITO Telecommunity Corporation, hailed the agreement as a transformative step for Philippine connectivity. "Our mission has always been to break barriers and provide Filipinos with world-class connectivity,” said Alberto.
PhilTower MIDC President and CEO, Devid H. Gubiani, emphasized the significance of infrastructure sharing in advancing connectivity. “Through this, we are opening an additional 6,500 towers for sharing among mobile network operators (MNOs), hastening the expansion of connectivity across the Philippines,” he noted.
The partnership is expected to accelerate digital transformation, particularly in underserved and remote areas, and facilitate the adoption of emerging technologies.
In addition to advancing network coverage, the collaboration supports sustainable development by reducing redundant infrastructure. It also aligns with the Department of Information and Communications Technology’s objectives: to optimize resources and minimize environmental impact through shared infrastructure solutions.
