Third location in the Philippines strengthens connectivity for enterprises across Manila and Southeast Asia

MANILA, Philippines--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hurricane Electric, the world’s largest IPv6-native Internet backbone, announced today that it has established a new Point of Presence (PoP) at STT Makati. The new PoP is located at 2275 Chino Roces Avenue, Manila (Makati) 1231, Philippines.

Strategically located in the Makati Central Business District, STT Makati is a trusted connectivity hub boasting diverse connectivity options and a wide array of peering partners to meet the demands of international and local clients. The facility serves as a strategic interconnection hub for enterprises while supporting the rapidly growing digital economy in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.

The Philippines continues to experience strong growth in cloud adoption, digital commerce, financial technology, streaming services, and AI-driven applications, fueling increased demand for scalable, low-latency connectivity infrastructure. As one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing Internet markets, Metro Manila has become an increasingly important gateway for regional and international network traffic.

The new PoP improves fault tolerance, load balancing, and congestion management for next-generation IP connectivity services throughout the region. Customers at STT Makati can now access Hurricane Electric’s extensive IPv4 and IPv6 backbone through 100GE (100 Gigabit Ethernet), 10GE (10 Gigabit Ethernet), and GigE (1 Gigabit Ethernet) ports.

“We are pleased to expand Hurricane Electric’s presence in the Philippines with this new Point of Presence at STT Makati,” said Mike Leber, President of Hurricane Electric. “Metro Manila’s position as a major commercial and technology hub in Southeast Asia makes it an ideal location to support growing demand for high-speed, resilient Internet connectivity across the region.”

With this deployment, organizations in and around Manila can exchange IP traffic directly with Hurricane Electric’s vast global network, which supports more than 40,000 BGP sessions with over 10,500 networks across more than 320 major exchange points worldwide.

The addition of this PoP reflects Hurricane Electric’s ongoing investment in Asia-Pacific digital infrastructure and its commitment to delivering low-latency, highly resilient Internet connectivity for enterprises, cloud providers, financial institutions, research networks, and service providers throughout the region.
