In an era where connectivity is essential, Radius Telecoms has emerged as one of the leading telecommunications providers in the Philippines, offering reliable fibre-optic solutions for businesses and consumers.
“As a subsidiary of Meralco, the country’s largest electric distribution company, we leverage our extensive infrastructure to deliver high-speed, secure, and stable data and internet services,” Radius President and CEO Quiel Delgado told International Finance.
Radius prides itself on its 100% pure fibre-optic network, which provides a higher service level availability in terms of uptime. Compared with traditional copper-based connections, fibre technology enables faster data transmission, making it ideal for businesses.
“With our extensive reach across Metro Manila and key provinces, we continue to expand our coverage, bridging the digital divide and enabling more Filipinos to access world-class internet services,” he added.
As the demand for faster and more reliable internet continues to grow, Radius Telecoms banks on partnerships with reputable institutions that further solidify its network infrastructure and service offerings.
In February 2025, Radius Telecoms partnered with globally leading distributed denial of service (DDoS) cybersecurity solution provider Nexusguard for the latter’s scrubbing centre in Hong Kong.
This significant development strengthens Radius’ security posture for its business-to-business (B2B) direct internet access service, ensuring enhanced protection against the growing threat of DDoS attacks. These attacks usually involve the loading of a target server, website, or network with excessive traffic to overwhelm a system and make it inaccessible to legitimate users.
Radius COO Al Solis said, “This new investment allows us to block DDoS attacks in real-time that also impact our target latency in our traffic routing. The availability of a scrubbing centre within our network guarantees that we maintain the high reliability of our internet service and ensure our low-latency commitment to our enterprise customers.”
In support of the Philippine hyperscale industry, Radius teamed up with ST Telemedia Global Data Centres Philippines (STT GDC) in December 2024 for the latter’s new data centre in Fairview, Quezon City. This is STT GDC’s largest, most interconnected, and sustainable data centre to date.
The partnership enabled STT GDC to offer reliable connectivity to its local and foreign clientele, further solidifying Radius’ position as a trusted provider of premium connectivity solutions. This highlights both companies’ dedication to enhancing the country’s digital infrastructure and connectivity.
Pioneering Connectivity In The Philippines
Building on its commitment to enhance the country’s digital advancement, Radius has a strong foundation rooted in innovation and strategic growth.
The deregulation of the Philippine telecommunications industry through Republic Act No. 7925 in 1995 opened the doors to ICT growth in the country. During this period, Meralco leveraged fibre-optic technology to interconnect its substations, enhancing its monitoring capabilities across its franchise area.
In 2000, Meralco launched e-Meralco Ventures (EMVI), which later became Radius Telecoms.
With a 100% fibre-optic network, Radius entered the local market with business-application-tested metro ethernet service, delivering secure, layer-two connectivity.
In 2012, Radius received its global certification and membership acceptance from the Metro Ethernet Forum, becoming the third Philippine telecom to achieve this milestone, after industry giants Globe and PLDT.
From its early role as a carrier’s carrier, Radius has evolved into a full-service telecom provider for top corporations. It now offers high-capacity, secure network solutions powered by Nokia, Cisco, and Juniper. Recognised globally for innovation, the company has continued to expand its services, catering to the growing demands of data centres and enterprise customers.
Quiel Delgado said, “Our presence in the country reflects the strength of the Philippine economy. The growing demand for connectivity and ICT solutions continues to drive progress, and niche providers like us still have a market that we can serve. This also benefits customers by giving them more choices and greater flexibility.”
“This year marks Radius’ 25th founding anniversary, and with ongoing investments in data centre infrastructure, the emergence of next-wave cities, and the increased demand for next-generation networking solutions, we will continue to set new standards in the Philippine telecommunication sector, ensuring secure, reliable, and world-class services,” he concluded.
