PhilTower MIDC and DITO Telecommunity Corporation have entered into a strategic agreement aimed at enhancing telecommunications infrastructure throughout the Philippines.

This partnership focuses on colocation management, designed to accelerate network expansion and improve digital accessibility on a national scale.

Under the terms of the memorandum of understanding (MoU), PhilTower MIDC will provide colocation management services for DITO’s telecom infrastructure. This collaboration will streamline maintenance operations and allow third-party operators easier access, promoting a more efficient use of resources across the telecommunications sector.

“Our mission has always been to break barriers and provide Filipinos with world-class connectivity,” said Ernesto R. Alberto, CEO of DITO Telecommunity Corporation.
PhilTower MIDC’s President and CEO, Devid H. Gubiani, said that the partnership will open an additional 6,500 towers for sharing among mobile network operators (MNOs), significantly hastening the expansion of connectivity in the Philippines.

The collaboration is anticipated to accelerate digital transformation, particularly in underserved and remote areas, while also facilitating the adoption of emerging technologies. By enhancing network coverage, the partnership is poised to support sustainable development by reducing redundant infrastructure and aligning with the Department of Information and Communications Technology’s goals of optimizing resources and minimizing environmental impact through shared infrastructure solutions.
