PH launches Phase 1 of the National Fibre Backbone project

The initiative is expected to lower the price of internet connectivity to as much as $5 per Mbps.

The Philippine government has launched the first phase of its National Fibre Backbone (NFB) project which aims to enhance public service delivery and drive economic growth in the country through reliable Internet connection

The Philippine Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) led the kick-off of the (NFB) Phase 1 which comprises a 1,245-kilometre cable network from Laoag, Ilocos Norte to Roces, Quezon City, illuminating 28 nodes and delivering an initial 600 Gbps optical spectrum capacity.

This will connect 14 provinces across Northern and Central Luzon, Metro Manila, four Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA) eco-zones, and two National Government Data Centres.

During the official project launch, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. said the NFB Phase 1 will serve as the country’s “economic spine that props up our growth and supports our development.”
