Avocado Broadband Telecoms Inc. boosts presence in Subic

Emerging local telco player Avocado Broadband Telecoms, Inc. (Avocado) is strengthening its enterprise presence after securing its first 10 commercial accounts in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone (SBFZ), one of the Philippines’ key business, logistics, industrial, and tourism hubs.

Among its key new customers are MNS Impex, Subic Riviera Hotel, Horizon Hotel, The Reef, and The Lighthouse, representing businesses across the hospitality, trading, tourism, and commercial sectors.

Additional customers include companies involved in customs brokerage, corporate services, food and beverage, fitness, and other commercial activities.

According to Paco Magsaysay, President of Avocado, “As we continue to expand our enterprise connectivity business, we consider Subic an important market due to its strategic location, accessibility, and a wide range of businesses and industries operating in the area.”

Avocado sees further opportunities to serve the SBFZ’s growing community of hotels, logistics and trading companies, manufacturers, offices, tourism establishments, and other enterprises requiring reliable, high-capacity connectivity.

The company plans to continue strengthening its presence in Subic while also expanding its enterprise and carrier-grade connectivity services across other strategic business and industrial locations in the Philippines.

“Our nationwide infrastructure, high-capacity backbone, and focus on network resiliency allow us to provide businesses with the dependable and scalable connectivity they increasingly require. This first batch of clients has given us a strong foundation for continued growth, not just within the freeport, but also in the surrounding areas,” Magsaysay added.

Avocado operates a 200G-capacity nationwide subsea fiber network, with major nodes strategically located in Bacolod, Panay, Cebu, Davao, and Cagayan de Oro. The network is supported by a healing-loop redundancy architecture designed to enhance network resiliency and service continuity through alternative fiber routes that allow network traffic to be rerouted when a primary route is disrupted. This redundancy helps reduce the impact of fiber cuts, equipment failures, construction incidents, natural disasters, and other network disruptions.

For customers, this means more reliable connectivity, reduced risk of prolonged downtime, and greater continuity for business-critical operations. Organizations can maintain more dependable access to cloud platforms, data centers, communications systems, digital applications, and other services that rely on continuous connectivity. For businesses operating across multiple locations, Avocado’s resilient network also provides a stronger foundation for keeping offices, branches, and facilities connected.

Complementing its subsea infrastructure is a 200G-capacity North-South Luzon backbone providing high-capacity and redundant connectivity across Luzon and supporting nationwide enterprise and carrier-grade services. This is significant as it enables the network to handle large volumes of data and growing bandwidth requirements from enterprises, data centers, industrial parks, schools, government institutions, and other organizations increasingly dependent on cloud services, digital platforms, video, communications, and data-intensive applications.

The integration of its 200G-capacity nationwide subsea network and 200G North–South Luzon backbone delivers both the capacity and geographic reach to support connectivity across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, reinforcing Avocado’s position as a nationwide telecommunications provider.

Combined with Avocado’s network presence in two major Luzon data centers – Equinix and Digital Edge, and strategic industrial and economic locations, this infrastructure gives customers access to a high-capacity and scalable nationwide connectivity platform that can support and improve their operations while providing room for future digital growth.

“At Avocado, our mission goes beyond connecting locations. We are building a resilient nationwide network that helps businesses stay connected, grow with confidence, and participate in the Philippines’ digital future,” Magsaysay stressed.

Its current network serves several of the country’s major industrial and economic locations, including Subic Bay Freeport, Aboitiz LIMA Estate, Laguna Technopark, and Carmelray Industrial Park, as well as other key enterprise locations.

Avocado is a wholly Filipino-owned company and holds a congressional franchise under Republic Act 10895.
