This new licence enables Comms Group Global to procure and resell wholesale and business VoIP-based telecommunications services in the Philippines, leveraging its global network and local partners.
Comms Group’s CEO and Managing Director Peter McGrath expressed his enthusiasm for this development: “We are delighted to have been issued with a telecommunications licence from the Philippines NTC to deliver the very best telecommunications experience to domestic and global wholesale customers and businesses.”
“This licence will enable Comms Group to provide the latest generation unified communications and VoIP services to benefit businesses and the economy in the Philippines and to assist the Philippines BPO market to remain globally competitive,” he added.
Comms Group Philippines Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, will handle the operations under this licence. The services offered will include SIP trunks and Unified Communications, targeting wholesale, enterprise, and multi-national customers both in the Philippines and globally. These services may be delivered under the Comms Group brand or resold globally by wholesale customers under their own brands.
The Australian Ambassador to the Philippines, HK Yu PSM, praised this move, stating, “I’m very pleased to see Australian firms actively pursuing the huge opportunities in the Philippines’ digital economy.”
“This investment of Comms Group aligns with the Philippines-Australia Strategic Partnership and Invested: Australia’s Southeast Asia Economic Strategy to promote more robust two-way trade and investment between our countries.”
“I laud the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) for working with Comms Group on this process. This certainly sends the right signal to investors and I’m glad an Australian company is at the forefront of this major initiative of the Philippines government.”
The Philippines is a critical market for Comms Group as it expands its network of licences across the Asia-Pacific region. The company is already licensed to provide VoIP services in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, and Taiwan (in progress). Additionally, Comms Group has partnership arrangements in place for China, Thailand, Vietnam, and South Korea.
Comms Group Philippines Inc. will leverage Comms Group’s extensive global network coverage and capabilities, working with local partners to provide these services. This expansion brings to light Comms Group’s commitment to enhancing telecommunications infrastructure and services across the region, solidifying its position as a leader in the industry.
