DITO and InfiniVAN agree to share fibre infrastructure

DITO Telecommunity and InfiniVAN announced on Friday they have signed a reciprocal fibre-sharing arrangement that they say will enhance network resilience, operational coverage and digital capacity across the Philippines.

Under a master facilities provisioning agreement (MFPA), DITO and InfiniVAN will grant each other access to their respective fibre-optic facilities, which includes subsea cable infrastructure and terrestrial underground and aerial dark fibre.

DITO and InfiniVAN said the agreement will enable both firms to leverage existing infrastructure more efficiently while expanding redundancy, resilience, and service continuity across the country.

The MFPA defines ownership, access rights, maintenance responsibilities, and service restoration procedures under specific facilities agreements that will be executed individually.

Ernesto R. Alberto, president and CEO of DITO Telecommunity, said the partnership reflects a shared vision of resilient, inclusive, and future-ready digital Philippines.

“Through this strategic fiber-swap arrangement, we’re not just optimizing assets, we’re strengthening the backbone of Philippine connectivity to ensure reliability, reach, and sustainability,” Alberto said in a statement.

“By combining our strengths and sharing resources, DITO and InfiniVAN can deliver broader coverage, greater network stability, and a stronger foundation for the country’s digital transformation,” added InfiniVAN president Shigeki Nakahara.
